How and where did miner live? (back in the days)

If you are talking about miners, who lived on site, they often lived in the caves, and or above ground in minimalist settings; a bed, sheet, and pillow. They often got sick and had health issues when sleeping in the tunnels/caves. The conditions were harsh, and at times, if they lived close enough they lived at their own house, and just proceeded to go to work on time.
