Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Facing Death: Or the Hero of the Vaughan Pit; A Tale of the Coal Mines A row of brick-built houses with slate roofs, at the edge of a large mining village in Staffordshire. The houses are dingy and colorless, and without relief of any kind. So are those in the next row, so in the street beyond, and throughout the whole village. There is a dreary monotony about the place; and if some giant could come and pick up all the rows of houses, and change their places one with another, it is a question whether the men, now away at Work, would notice any difference whatever until they entered the houses standing in the place of those which they had left in the morning. There is a church, and a vicarage half-hidden away in the trees in its pretty, old-fashioned garden; there are two or three small red-bricked dissenting chapels, and the doctor´s house, with a bright brass knocker and plate on the door. There are no other buildings above the common average of mining villages; and it needs not the high chimneys, and engine-houses with winding gear, dotting the surrounding country, to notify the fact that Stokebridge is a mining village.
