Elsecar in 1964 Digitised from a 8mm cine film by Dave Cherry. Scenes of the Denby Dale pie event in 1964, Elsecar Main in 1971, Elsecar and Hoyland in 1964. Music by Dave Cherry
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.
Absolutely brilliant video Dave, thanks for sharing,
Thanks Dave, 👍
Bitter sweet memories of my local pit as a local lad from Hoyland. I remember Milton bottom pond being drained
cant think what the white van is by the pie sign
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
