New Book
South Yorkshire Collieries, John Goodchild
PB 128pp
This is the latest offering from Tempus Publications. Contained within the
pages are images of the miners, their housing and many of the collieries
which have now all but disappeared. Typically, the author has provided many
previously unpublished photos, sketches and plans. A large number of the
surface and underground scenes are vintage photographs taken through the
development of the collieries. Images featured in this book are taken from
the author's personal collection held at the History Study Centre in
Wakefield. The book is split into three sections, 1. Before the railway
age, 2. The railway age, 3. At and around Doncaster. This is principally
a picture book with well written supportive text which offers a different
insight into this area.
