Bitter sweet memories of my local pit as a local lad from Hoyland. I remember Milton bottom pond being drained

Thanks for the share Dave I would love to know who the men are working on the disco because my dad drove that machine for years

Chris the name was DOSCO. It was a private firm from Tuxford in Notts that sold mining machinery to the NCB. Most pits had a DOSCO to drive the headings in the developments. This film came from a Elsecar lady whose husband was a fitter there on the film. I am sure her name was Charlesworth. Hope this helps-Dave.
