Thanks to Mike and Martin,
About durk wagons. I would imagine the tubs were then of a all wood construction? like the one in the Swaledale Folk museum at Reeth. The ones I have come across are constructed of metal with wooden floors. Is it safe to say that durk wagons never left the mine but were used to tip their contents down hoppers into larger tubs which, then left the mine?
Thanks once again
Barry
