As today marks the 145th anniversary of the 1880 Seaham Colliery disaster, we are highlighting an object in our collection that commemorates this tragic event. This inkwell, fashioned from the hoof of a pit pony who sadly died in the Seaham Colliery explosion on September 8 1880, stands as a haunting memorial. Mounted on walnut and inscribed with the date of the disaster, it commemorates not only the miners but also the loyal animals who shared their fate underground. | National Coal Mining Muse
