Davy Lamp - Leamore Park
Brownhills may have its miner but Leamore has a miner's lamp. The run down Blakenhall Estate has received a large injection of 'New Deal' investment to smarten up the area including this public artwork in the park. Leamore developed as a mining area in the 1850s with most shafts worked out by the turn of the century. The last colliery in the area at Walsall Wood closed in the 1960s.
The Davy Lamp designed by Sir Humphry Davy in 1815 was a major improvement in mine safety. The flame from an oil lamp is encased in wire gauze inside a glass cylinder. This reduces the risk of explosion through the use of open flames where flammable gases may be present. The colour of the flame provides an indication of the presence of gas.
