Ladder heavy operated by Ōtaka Enterprises CoA rusted A frame ladder stands near the centre of a workshop at Awaba Colliery, its paint worn to bare metal. Red objects sit on the concrete floor behind it, and a wooden shelving unit lines the left wall below a sign referencing an emery wheel. The mine ran from 1947 until coal reserves were exhausted in 2012. Part of the Awaba Colliery series.
