Brilliant documentary. God Bless all of these men women and children 🙏

Thanks for sharing!

Sorry to hear about your dad! My story is the same my mums side from derbyshire all miners my dads side all Nottinghamshire's miners (no scabs they all went on picket line) lived in a mining village everything we did was with minors all i ever wanted to do was go down the pit and follow my family i was just a littld to late. If they was ever to open pits again id be straight there

Ken and Gail it's exactly the same just up the road in featherstone where I'm from, it might be a shite hole to others but our town was a solid mining town from 1865 to the present day, I enjoyed my life being a coal miner, even though I was transferred to the Selby pits, I wouldn't move there I stayed where I was from in a featherstone pit house, 😊

nice bit of topgear music at the start

It’s sad, but pits were always gonna shut over here, we’re lucky we’re not walking around in solar suits and eating rabbit food

Mining was such a great job, unqualified men could earn wages equal to professionals, the miners kept the local economies buoyant and when the pits closed they couldn’t earn anything coming close to their miner’s wages and everything went down the pan, the mining villages got poor and never picked up since

Героическая работа!

Tarzan and paul sykes built on all pit land blue chip manufacturing warehouses

Gone from 1200 aweek to 1200 a month

Very powerful but very depressing.

Don't vote for anything

You'll not get thee Down fookin pit

Incredibly sad

No Fuel Security anymore. What a silly little island.

My dad worked there up until it closed

This so called toxic masculinity is what made Britain great, we are now a weak and pathetic country where a man being a man is seen as wrong and we must all be in touch with our feminine side, what a joke

My dad worked there right up to its closure !

The mining industry was the best place to work in ever man looked out for the men they worked with all the government wanted to do was break the biggest union in the country.and the media didn’t help the miners

My dad was a miner from leaving school in 1952 all the way up to when they closed , he was at grimethorpe up to the end . I just missed out on the opportunity and would have loved to experience it , all our time as kids we played on the pit stacks and in the local pit yards at manvers main and wath ......miss those days dearly , dark times but the bastards never broke us . Lost my dad in 2010 miss him like crazy . Trev clark . RIP dad .

bankers bailout 800 billion. miners. closed. disgusting nation.

they can close unprofitable mines, but when banks are unprofitable (2008) they bail them out with billions of taxpayers money ?

Scargil knew what would happen to the community's. You go to any ex mining village. Then tell me he was wrong.

He was out for himself.

Scargill was the miners worst enemy , not Thatcher
