Document Storage Colour:Raw from 1957 until it closedA former shower room at Awaba Colliery, its original shower heads still fixed to the tiled back wall, repurposed for document storage after mining ceased in 2012. Metal shelving on both sides holds stacks of paper and cardboard boxes, a green plastic bag resting beside a handwritten labelled box on the right.
