Beschreibung:
Ken Wain spent 38 years working underground in the Sheffield area and has amassed one of the best collections of images of the coal mines of South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and North Nottinghamshire. He was instrumental in the creation of a memorial to the 106 men of Markham Colliery who lost their lives in three separate disasters, the last in 1973.
Once employing thousands, with many collieries dotted all over the area, coal mining in the East Midlands has all but gone. Once tens of thousands depended on mining. Ken Wain tells the story of mining, its triumphs and disasters.
