A miner leaves the cage at the pithead

In the dim hall of the pithead, among heavy steel frames, rails and the gates of the shaft, a miner with a blackened face and a cap walks toward the camera, his jacket open over a dark shirt and a lamp at his side; other men move behind him. The source describes miners leaving the cage at the pithead.
