      I just remember my father.
      He was working at a coal mining company.
      But facilities were demolished in 1988.

      A wonderful shot! I like how the chap on the left is obscured in shadow, but the light falls full on the face of the other, whose expression is priceless.

      i remember this colliery i lived quite close to it thanks for sharing your pics there great

      I adore your photographs of the mining industry. As a boy my father and grandfathers all worked in mines and only the closure of the indutry by the Thatcher government prevented my following in their footsteps.
      Not sure if that's a good thing or not to be honest with the illness and disease the industry brings.
      Amazing shots though, well done.
