As some members know, I have a website with the same name as this forum, unfortunately at the moment, the hosts server has crashed.
I'm rebuilding the site, I've well over two hundred pages so far.
It started out as a two pit site, Clifton and Cotgrave, but after Terry Blythe passed on, I used his material on Notts and Derbyshire collieries and expanded my site.
I now am in the process of building a site up to cover ALL Uk collieries from Vesting Day to the end of the industry.
I even have info and photos on collieries that closed before vesting day I'll add.
What I need is YOUR personal history of your old collieries, stories, elec/mech info, mine plans, photos etc..
Any and ALL info is appreciated and will be acknowledged to it's contributor.
This even includes the area workshop employees and Divisional and area office staff who may have valuable information.
The idea is to produce the best data base on the UK coal industry.
Thanks for your time.
