I am pleased to advise that the following book has been republished as with a soft cover price £10.99
Collieries of Somerset and Bristol - John Cornwell
The book contains 85 photographs of previously unrecorded scenes of surface and underground taken at 13 pits post-nationalisation in 1947. The underground photos were taken by Nigel Booth between 1960 -1961. The collieries featured include, Bromley (near Pensford), Braysdown - Radstock, Camerton - Charmborough, Coal Pit Heath - Glos, Harry Stoke - Stoke Gifford, Kilmersdon - Radstock, New Rock / Mendip - Stratton on Foss, Norton Hill - Midsomer Norton, Marsh Lane Drift - Farrington Gurney, Old Mills - Paulton, Pensford, Writhlington - Radstock.
The original was sold out very quickly I guess demand for this volume may be similar
