Did your house have a Cracket when you were a kid?

BTW, that's not mine, just for illustration.
The one we had had an oval shaped hole for carrying.
I believe they're a miners kind of thing.
My nannas grandad worked at the limestone mines so i reckon ours must have come from him.
 
It did, I made it in woodwork at school, it didn’t have a hole though and it wasn’t comfortable, it spent a lot of time in the attic. The hole was to help miners carry it I think
 
I've got one at home, been passed on by the family, never knew it was called a cracket though, never quite worked out if it was meant to be small table or a stool either 👶
