I suspect that the majority of Kent's initial workforce were drawn from many if not all of the existing coalfields encouraged by the higher wages being offered, the promise of working continuity along with the prospects of 'life in a better climate'. At the same time as the Kent coalfield was beginning to flourish and open up many Northern coalmines were closing or only working short time for various reasons.

Here's snippet of information.
"Many Chislet miners were Welsh as Welsh colliery companies held shares in the Chislet Company and developed a close working relationship. Until 1924 the majority of the miners lived in Ramsgate. That year the Chislet Colliery Housing Society was formed to build a small colliery village of 300 houses at Chislet. This was later renamed Hersden to distinguish it from the original village of Chislet up the road. "

And some more."There were no workers experienced in mining in Kent when coal was discovered in 1890. All the workers had to be imported from traditional mining areas such as Wales, Scotland, Durham, Yorkshire, Lancashire and the Midlands. With the coal industry then booming, few had any incentive to come to Kent so collieries here had to pay higher wages. Uniquely, Kent became a mix of the traditions (often wildly different) of all the coalfields in Britain." "With the opening of Betteshanger Colliery and the redevelopment of Tilmanstone Colliery in the 1920's the demand for miners grew. After the General Strike of 1926, blacklisted militants, unable to work in their home areas, came to Kent, often signing on under false names. Poverty and desperation during the Depression of the 1930's meant that many unemployed miners walked hundreds of miles to Kent pits, unable to afford train tickets." "The arrival of all these 'rough and ready foreigners' initially horrified the locals, especially as all the collieries were located in rural areas near sleepy villages and hamlets. Towns like Deal, where many Betteshanger miners lived, were shocked to find huge gangs of blackened labourers in hobnailed boots marching to and from work through the streets. Signs saying 'No Miners' soon appeared in shops and pubs. To try and reduce the hostility, Kent pits were amongst the first to have pit head baths so miners could go home clean. " Taken from Coalfields Heritage Site at www.dover.gov.uk/kentcoal/exhibition/miners.aspSo basically it was a mixture of better incentives and men who had been blacklisted by coal owners..Plus Welsh coal companies who brought some of their men to work in their new mines.

"2 Visits 1.71% john anderton invention of shearer"
Daz's favourite!!!! John Anderton was accredited as the "inventor" of the shearer , but information on the history of the shearer reveals he wasn't. The "Anderton Power Loader" was actually a team effort of trial and error until they got it right.
I think Daz posted some pictures of early shearers, but they weren't power loaders, Anderton and his team turned a shearer into a successful power loader.
I can recall when I was at tech being indoctrinated into believing John Anderton invented the shearer...
I downloaded some pages from a book on the history surrounding the development of the Anderton Power Loader, I'll have to go through my files and post the story.

"1 Visit 0.85% deepest reported coal"
Not really sure what this about..... UK or world??
The Notts/Yorks seams dip to the east at a few degrees, so by the time they get to the Lincs coastline would be extremely deep. It's theorized that the UK coalfields are an extension of the ones found in mainland Europe.
Just a thought, but I think all UK seams stop at the "Millstone Grit" I don't think there are any seams of coal below that layer.

I was told as an apprentice that the scrolled shearer drum, developed by Mining Supplies by A Snipe was actually the brainchild of a fitter at Cadeby Colliery. I think his name was Bedson or Benton. Needless to say he didn't get a penny out of it. Or maybe it's "just a tale".

When you sign your contract of employment with the NCB you agreed any idea pertaining to work belonged to them, if the idea was exceptional, they'd throw a few pennies at you... ;D
I worked for a short time with the bloke who designed the test plug that replaced our "diode with wires" Not that I ever used one...
But he made the mistake of taking a patent out on the test plug, had a prototype machined up and hawked it around the GEB manufacturers plus Huwood and Victor Products... All agreed it was a good idea, but wouldn't touch it with a bargepole when they found out he was an NCB employed electrician.
He kept the patent "alive" until he finally gave up and let it run out. Within a short time, test plugs were appearing at collieries around the country. He said he'd never think up any more ideas that could be used in mining, ever. To say he was peed off, wouldn't explain his feelings toward the NCB.

"1 Visit 1.14% why do you need an oil lamp in collieries"
"Oil lamps" Flame Safety Lamps, were used primarily as personal lighting, pre electric lamps. It was known before when candles were used, that when "firedamp" Methane, was present, a blue gascap formed over the flame.
So flame safety lamps were used as a gas detection and means of testing for methane around the world in coal mines up until the turn of the century. Flame safety lamps also show "lack of oxygen" ie "blackdamp"
The use of safety lamps has given way for multi gas electronic devices, some countries no longer use the "oil lamp" anymore, Australia being one, and they are being phased out in US coal mines.

Ironically, those Nickel Iron batteries will last forever!! They just need the electrolyte changing every couple of years. There are nickel iron batteries still working and putting out the same output and accepting charges and are over 60 years old. Some of Edisons original batteries are still in full working order!! The first all electric car made by Ford were powered by Nickel Iron batteries made by Edison. They are light, rugged, almost indestructible, if maintained will last indefinably. The features that almost killed them off by the lead acid battery makers.......

Took me ages to find out anything about this old pit. It was situated near Bulwell Hall, in fact for nearly a year I'd walk past where it was situated down the old footpath from Hucknall No2 training centre to the NCT bus terminus in Bulwell. One of the Leen Valley collieries. It was also known as Shonkey pit, name came from the winding engine, which was an old steam loco sitting on end!! Pity there's no photos of that one, I'd loved to have seen it! But that's the description I found in an old book in the Google collection.

Had a brass ferrule on the bottom to protect the tip. Was used to check the distance between props on a face, who betide any miner who had set his too far apart!!quite right john but also he could use it when testing for gas in the roof he would use the bulb they carried--squeezed then put on his stick hold up in the roof while it pulled air in, the remove and squeeze into his flame lamp to test for gas.
