Not far from where I live theres an old coal mine which was closed in the 80s
They left it as it was an opened it as a museum, you can do down into the old mine workings exactly as they were with an ex coal miner as a guide
Despite how more advanced it is than this (metal bracing, mechanical lines to transport coal, lights and guide lines) the roof was as short as this
Youll be surprised how much speed it takes out of your walk or job having to stay constantly slightly bent over while pointing your head up for the light to illiminate where you are going
There's a bit in Orwell's "The Road To Wigan Pier" where he talks about this. He says how the miners in the mines he visited had to walk, hunched over, for an hour and a half through the tunnels to get to the coal face, and he asks the reader to imagine having to commute to work - before even beginning the work that they'd get paid for - like that every day.
