Description
From memories of childhood when no policeman was safe, to working life spent down the pits of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, to vacations in the Paris of the fifties, this is a unique history of one worker's life and of mining in the country. Illustrated with more than ninety photographs, this book will contain many familiar faces for those who have been involved with the mining industry of the area and will bring back fond memories for many, whilst offering others a fascinating glimpse into a vanished world.
