JUST SOMETHING I PUT TOGETHER TO REMIND PEOPLE WHAT OGMORE VALLEY WAS LIKE DURING THE DAYS OF COAL PITS BEFORE THAT EVIL BITCH MAGGIE THATCHER GOT INTO POWER
Images like these always remind me of pictures of the ww2 blitz, and in a lot of ways, they're similar. Thriving communities devastated. Centres of production destroyed. Both done by rightwing maniacs. Nightmare. Very moving video.
After years and tears,the government now are thinking of opening British mines again.....Wasn't Thatcher the snatcher clever.Wish I 'COULD SEE HER NEW VISION OF BRITAIN.
Many thanks for this ... my grandfather was a miner in Nantymoel, first went down the pit aged 15 to look after the ponies, turned hewer to earn more money.
Awwwww, that's really sad. :-( I was 14 when the Wyndam Western closed down. a community changed forever.
