Stickers stove heater paper over the surrounding wallDecades of stickers coat the storeman's office windows at Awaba Colliery, brand labels for Ingersoll Rand, Exide, and Superfilter still legible against backlit glass. A bright rectangle of light falls on the wall below, thrown by the same windows that once looked out over a working pit top. The mine ran from 1947 to 2012, when the Great Northern Seam finally ran out. Part of the Awaba Colliery series.
