Hello Coltrane,
Both my gradfather Richard Poole and Great Grandfather Richard Poole were Charter Masters in Shropshire .
According to articles I have read of historical societies in the BlackCountry ;
" The actual mining of the coal and ironstone was undertaken by Charter Masters , specially qualified men with training and experienced , often being the sons of charter masters . These were contracted with the landowners mining agents to supply the labour , horses , tools , candles , and explosives and also light beer to be sent down in small kegs at midday . They were not responsible for the winding plants and the sinking of the shafts . They were paid tonnage rates , the rates being obtained by weighing machines on the railway and by gauging of the canal boats . "
I hope this has been of some help .
As for me I have found a William Pooe Charter master at Dawley Bank 1851 , a Horace David Poole Charter Master and General Manager of Baggeridge colliery 1926 to 1937 , son of my namesake David Philip Poole , who in 1901 was manager of an iron foundry living near Amblecote , Staffs .
Now I have to find their links to my family .
Regards ,
David .P. Poole .
