This is just an extract from a short film made, with music edited into it. the filming was done by someone called Sam i believe.Some of you may know him enjoy.
I was a lorry driver. that was the first pit I ever went to. Very sad today shut I loved every minute to go in there. Very nice bunch of lads to work with lovely canteen you have food in the canteen and you showers probably the best days of my life Ken Morgan
I was surprised that the song played is called. The British Grenediers. I am an American from Massachusetts and this song was the marching song of the Continental Army in Boston during the Revolution.
Oh you are so right. I look at the young me in that march. I know Bill well. Many memories of working in the hole. Please tell Bill I said hello.Best regards to all of the Lea Hall lads Des Derry

My Grandfather was a Lea Hall Miner. Lived in Rugley most of his life and my mother was born there. Was often there as a kid.
Thanks posting and cheers to the lads!
