Professor Keith Gildart (principal investigator), Professor Andy Perchard (co-investigator), Dr. Ben Curtis and Dr Grace Millar (postdoctoral research fellows), have undertaken extensive archival research and undertaken over 100 oral history interviews. Through a study of eight collieries located in England, Scotland, and Wales, the project explores the rich and complex history of coal, mining communities, the lives of those who worked in the industry and their families.
The ‘On Behalf of the People’ project used eight case-study pits to explore the industry and communities around it:
Annesley/Bentinck Colliery (Nottinghamshire, England, 1865–2000),
Barony Colliery (Ayrshire, Scotland, 1910–1989),
Bickershaw Colliery (Lancashire, England, 1830–1992),
Easington Colliery (Durham, England, 1899–1993),
Markham Colliery (Derbyshire, England, 1882–1993),
Point of Ayr Colliery (Flintshire, Wales, 1890–1996),
Prince of Wales Colliery (Yorkshire, England, 1860–2002), and
