Between 1812 and 1860, the growth of cotton and iron industries meant that coal was at a higher demand. New technology was introduced to try to make coal production quicker and more efficient. Cage elevators were introduced to raise coal and miners from the pits, rails and carts were used to transport coal, instead of 'Putters', some mechanical machinery was introduced to cut coal, instead of the 'Hewers' doing it by hand. The invention of the davy safety lamp meant that miners could go deeper into mines, but it also lead to many injuries.
