This Is The True Price Paid For Coal. As a child my Dad worked at Chislet Colliery in Kent and we were very grateful for existence of the Mines Rescue. God Bless Them.
This is now a beautiful quiet flourishing nature reserve with plants and trees everywhere. Its as if there was never a pit there. According to a sign nr the nemorial behind the Outwood train station the bodies of the "entombed" trapped 6 miners are still down there. Also the Lake Lock Railway from Outwood to Stanley Lock was the first public railway in the world opened in 1798 - 1836. Middleton Railway in Leeds opened before but this but was a private railway.
That's labour for you. The conservatives believe in British first....not foreign produce and immigrants. Vote conservative and maybe the puts will return!
So sad, I made this film, there was only, 1 copy that was stolen from the DVD at the end of a charity performance, so far the poster has refused to say where he obtained it.
Just down the road from me, I was 5 years old when this happened but remember it so well and it's hard to believe no trace of the pit exist today. Nice work mate hope you sort it out with the thieving bastard.

We the working class owe the miner's so much.Thank's for being the only people maggie could never beat .Corbyn will bring back the pride some of the working class were too afraid to fight for.FOR THE MANY NOT THE FEW.This film seems to come from a bygone age the people in it really did seem to care .About the miner's .A starke contrast to the attitude by some at the disaster at grenfell tower.
Corbyn will do nothing for the working classes, he leads a new Labour that would rather cosy up to the politically correct younger ,affluent voters than the true working class.This is a film about working men who did a dangerous job and knew the risks yet still worked in the pits.Grenfell is a differenet matter,its a political rugby ball that has been picked up by a certain set who chose to turn this in to a an issue about race and immigrants, i suspect that there woundn't have been the same broohaha if most of the tenents were white.Grenfeel is in a wealthy borough wher ethe uber rich can be living alongside the the poorest but did these poorest expect to be housed in the type of the homes that people have worked and are paying large mortagages to live in.I can tell you that having been in a housefire doesn't make you a priority for housing,i know from experience and these folks are not a speacial case.
Frank Keys Sorry Frank, but Labour is a disgrace. I worked 32 yrs in mining and I was a ‘Red Ragger’ in my younger days. I now hate Marxism with a vengeance, I was even a member of the ‘Workers Revolutionary Party’ in the 70’s. Fuck politics, all of them! I now stay under their radar and look after me and my loved ones. Politics is totally toxic. I like to get a 40 plant grow on nowadays, keep my gob shut and fuck the taxman off. Life is real good without the cunts who think they ‘Own’ us. I found it really makes far more sense to Fuck everyone and look after yourself and loved ones. WRP did fuck all for me or the country. That’s Marxism, total bollocks wrapped in ‘internationalism’ a world family that doesn’t give a fuck about anyone, it’s ALL emotional brainwashing and I’m glad I wised up.

My film Young Hearts Run Free is set during the 1974 strike and it celebrates our mining heritage and characters point out the dangers men faced.
Would love to see it but can't seem to find it

My uncle Sammy Dodd was pit deputy at Lofthouse colliery at the time and got called in and went underground to help with the rescue
can't believe its now a football field . Fantasic though sad footage.

Sounds like Parky narrating
Hs this been edited? The narration keeps cutting and jumping.
If it's from an old film, spliced film breaks can cause jumps.
