Thank you for the video. I used to work for USC at Colsterworth. One of the photos is of Stainby Glebe. Many people thing that it was Exton Park. It was a high intesity pit with two production faces. The pit nearer Stainby was shallower and this was operated by two diesel draglines, the other was deeper and nearer Colsterworth North, there was a 5W employed here stripping the overburdon.
Excellent stuff. Thanks for your comment. Nice to see stuff from those who actually worked there, what were conditions like, were women employed anywhere, was it a mucky job?
@@MattDavis_BeechingsGhosts No women employed other than in the offices at Colsterworth. It could be filthy if you were on the water pumps. Could be bad if you were on the drills and you hit water, it would go straight up into your face. This in the 1970’s .
Loved it. Great photos and music and the end too.
