It's 20 years since the closure of Markham Colliery in the former North Derbyshire coalfield.
I have commissioned two badges to commemorate the 20 years closure of Markham Colliery in the former North Derbyshire coalfield.
The badge depicts the original M logo that Markham Colliery had. The badges are limited to 100 & are individually numbered, I have the original dyes so no more will be made.
The badges were made by badges plus in Birmingham.
I have family who worked at the former colliery & I want to preserve the mining history, hence having the badge made.
This year is also 30 years since the miners strike so a very busy year remembering our history.
I have badge 1 but please state on purchase which number you would like if still available & whether you would like the two to make a set.
The badges are available through the well known internet auction site or directly through me at dmkeyworth@tiscali.co.uk at £5 each, one set is in the environment centre on the colliery site, a set is also in the NCM at wakefield as well as the mines rescue centre.
