A handbill or poster from 1832 calling for hewers and putters at St Lawrence Colliery. The text states that applicants need not have any mining experience. It also states that the workers should not worry about being attacked or molested by the ‘ill disposed’. This implies that there had been some trouble with strike breakers and black leg workers in this area.
