What he did was that he followed his father's trade of colliery engineman (in other words, men that worked in coal mines).
At the age of 23, in 1804 at Killingworth Colliey, he took charge of a winding engine belonging to the Grand Allies, who was an important group of coal masters who controlled the pits. In 1813, he was told to build a locomotive (a machine or invention used to pull trains) for the Killingworth mine. ]]> 2018-03-06 14:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lawsonali01/268kq8yzni66/wish/238619968 lawsonali01 https://padlet.com/lawsonali01/268kq8yzni66/wish/238636277 At the age of 23, in 1804 at Killingworth Colliey, he took charge of a winding engine belonging to the Grand Allies, who was an important group of coal masters who controlled the pits.
