I agree totally with what you wrote. I work for Blenkinsopp Drift mine in
Northumberland and is to close shortly. We have loads of old
machinery in fact I was in touch with Stuart Tomlins after seeking
information about arcwall cutters. These cutters were in use before
the second world war I belive and it would be a shame to see them go
for scrap. They are currently selling scrap so now is the time to
salvage a bit of history.
