The historic process of pushing or dragging loaded tubs, corves, or baskets of mined material through underground workings. Hurrying was the primary method of gathering coal from individual stalls and bringing it to the horse-drawn or mechanical tramways leading to the shaft.
Heard on the job
They had to hurry the coal out of the narrow headings by hand because the roof was too low for the ponies.
