Big Bang, Author Edward C Hellewell , A5, sb, 54pp - £12.95
Dr Hellewell started his career as a shot firer in Emley Moor Colliery,
Huddersfield (before nationalisation known as Emley No 3 drift) . In the
book he describes the methods of shot firing , the history of the pit,and
working methods. This is from his understanding and how it was worked. The
art will soon be forgotten the author has placed his recollections on
record. A very informative and useful book
