Following on from the interest on this list recently in Free Miners etc. I have now started putting my colliery and gale database up at: http://www.users.waitrose.com/~iapope/Coalopen.html So far A - E is available, the rest and more linking between pages, plus more photographs will follow. Any contributions to this, such as colliery letterheads, photographs or recollections etc. would be most appreciated to pull together as complete a history of the coalfield as possible.
