A couple of Wagon labels from the National Coal Board's Haunchwood Colliery and West Cannock Collieries. Each coal wagon carried a label to show the date, the originating colliery, the destination, the account to be charged, the wagon identity, and a description of type and the weight of the coal consigned. The two labels above show a consignment of 'washed nuts' on 6th February 1960 to the Alcester Cooperative from Haunchwood Colliery, chargeable to the Cooperative Wholesale Society in Manchester and on 21st September 1962 a consignment of 'large coal group 3' to TM Dixon Ltd who were local coal merchants.
