To Birch Coppice Colliery Co
Polesworth
I have been requested to enquire re loading of boats at your Colliery. Some years ago a quantity of coal from your colliery was brought into this neighbourhood by canal. Do you load boats now and if so, what weight do you put on? Do the men have any difficulty in working with boats when fully loaded? Please describe the state of the canal, is any dredging required ?Thank you for any information.
