where i live in wath-up-on dearne there used pe a pit called manvers main colliery, but now its nothing but a lake and there is no traice of the pit at all. the whole place was demolished in the mid-1990s. now it's a nature reserve
Most of them would have closed in time the demand for coal isn't there any more there could still be one or two still going like the big k I live in fife Scotland the mines are long gone here
@@Paul-ul7dz Germany still has a thriving coal industry because they were sensible enough to realise a major economy needs its own domestic fuel supplies. Britain is now reliant on imported gas and coal, and is even getting electricity from France. How are you enjoying your gas and electric bills? Better hope Putin doesn't turn off the gas or you freeze.
Respect to those who worked there and their communities from the Selby Coalfield.

@Jason Clark ahh right thanks for that info
Please remember the pit heads are still north of tge lake. On top of the hill, next to the golf course.
My father was an engine windingman at Manvers.
Barnsley main wont be flattened as it's now a grade 2 listed building
hatfield has the same listing & its the only thing stopping the council putting a link road to the motorway services roundabout
All down to tories this happened
Wake up sunshine, history has proven thats bollocks.
The tories didn't shut anything down they simply stopped subsidising the mines because they were unprofitable and a drain on taxpayer money.

Some fantastic drone footage there.
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks David, lets use these buildings - instead of flattening them
Shove your royal residences and poncey monuments this is real history
The whole England will be like this if the tories get there way
