With all due respects, whilst this is a book I missed, and it probably
is a good book on a small portion of Derbyshire, I would hardly call it
a book on Derbyshire Coal Mining. There still isn't a good book on
Derbyshire Coal Mining. Perhaps Landmark or Tempus ought to commission
one!!!!
Cheers, Dave.
