From Graces Guide

213. LUND HILL COAL COMPANY, Lund Hill Colliery, Barnsley.

Specimens of Barnsley seam, steam, and house coal.

This specimen shows the thickness of the "BARNSLEY" SEAM OF COAL as worked at this colliery; it is divided into soft or house coal, and hard or steam coal. The soft is very suitable for domestic purposes, and for making gas, of which it yields a large amount, and of brilliant quality; the hard portion is very valuable as a steam coal, both locomotive and marine, and is upon the English Admiralty list. The pits are 660 feet in depth.

Agent, Mr. Thorneycroft, King's Cross Station.
