[QUOTE="ruston, post: 446465, member: 27805"] It's no bother. I will post some photos of some of them tomorrow, I have quite a bit of mining memorabilia, including a tally as you spoke of . I also have figures of miners carved out of coal , one in particulars are four miners back to back depicting four era's of mining. I worked in opencast mining and we were referred to as 'Sunshine Miners' . On one of the sites I was on we dug into some old workings , wooden pit props , very very little head room, you could just imagine what a shift was like in there. We also dug out a Monks bell hole , so called by the way it was dug out. They would work it in the shape of a bell until it became unstable and unworkable . It was young boys that dug them not the monks : I think you probably knew that. [/QUOTE]
