Exhibition Text: Numerous pit-head baths were built in the 1930s after the miners’
welfare levy – established in 192-0 – was extended to provide thim. Before that,
some coal companies had built baths, canteens and medical centres.
After nationalisation the NCB continued to provide pit-head welfare facilities.
