A Fine tribute to a once mighty colliery that employed 3000 men at it`s peak - a tragic and unjustified victim of myopic Tory politics !

My Grandfather Frederick Sillito died in this Pit Disaster, my father stands in the front of the photo of the families awaiting news of their loved ones.. of which none came out alive.. he was still a young boy!!
A fine and welcome tribute to them all..xx

My Dad went through the 84/85 strike. I will never forget what they went through, the people who stood by them and the former 'friends and family' who turned their backs. I have a bottle of champagne put away for when Thatcher dies.

@pogospace In years to come I think people will say: "You had all that coal and you threw it away to rely on oil and the resulting cost in blood..." Thanks for your comment and my respect to your Dad.
