I am currently researching the early history of Walker Colliery (1762-1918) in Newcastle. In particular the sinking and early years of the Ann Pit sunk in 1762 plus the issuing of engraved silver commemorative medals to the sinkers. Any information would be gratefully welcomed particularly about the medals.
