Hi all
Waterloo Colliery image copyright Steven Carter licenced by archive-images.co.uk
Another advert for the exhibition tomorrow.
I had a preview of the exhibition this afternoon and thoroughly recommend it. Steven is displaying lots of photos and historical info. Also he has some handouts that you can take home. Definitely well worth making the effort to go there. And the mine cafe will be open as well as an underground trip (charge for this).
FREE Exhibition one day only Sunday 30 June at Hopewell Colliery, Forest of Dean
Remembering the Waterloo Colliery (aka the Arthur and Edward, Upper Lydbrook)
To mark the 70th anniversary of Waterloo’s 1949 flooding, Hopewell Colliery is hosting a free exhibition of old photographs and maps of the Waterloo Colliery, one the Forest’s deep mines. The photographs show the colliery buildings, the Waterloo Creeper, workers, scenes from the 1949 rescue, some underground maps and a detailed site plan.
Drop by at any time from 10.30 am until 4.00 pm. Memories or old photos especially welcome.
Entrance to the exhibition is free. Refreshments available at the Hopewell Café.
For directions and amenities, see Hopewell’s website: http://www.hopewellcolliery.com/index.html.
Cheers
Roger
