Explanation of Colliery Accounts | Output by Individual Colliers

 

Sheriffhall Colliery Oncost Accounts - week ending 29 August 1812

All payments made in running the coalworks apart from payments to colliers for coal produced, are known as oncost.
However the first 2 two items (coal sold, and debts, rents etc from colliers) are not payments but money received and appear in the 'credit' column of the accounts.

For details of the coal produced, see Coal Output of Individual Colliers
