  • What was life like for the coal miners who fueled Britain’s industrialization? Pretty sooty! Men, women, and children lived, worked, and died in industrial England’s hazardous mines. With Alan and Taz, Nick Dennis digs into the lives and work of Britain’s coal mining communities, past and present.

      No doubt it was. My ancestors on my dad's paternal side were coalminers. My 3x gt grandfather worked in the pits for at least 55 years. I don't know how they did it working in back breaking conditions little light for up to 16 hours a day.

      The doors protected the rest of the mine if methane exploded.

      As pumps to move water got better, mines went deeper and larger. So the air which previously circulated through natural convection had to do more work. Two shafts meant fresh air went down one shaft and hot dusty air up the other. In order to ensure the air circulation went to all parts of the mine, it was led and conducted through the tunnels by air doors, which stopped it going the wrong way, if you left a door open the air wouldn't go where you wanted, and would take the quickest route, leaving the miners inbye without air
      So it was a crucial job. Women and girls were not employed in the northern coalfield but boys usually started on these doors at 6 years old.

    Britain's industrialisation for 200 years was premised upon its de industrialized in india. They looted raw materials like coal and cotton from india and Africa and produced Textile and steel in factories of Manchester and Lancashire. There is no cotton or coal reserves in uk. India is largest producer of cotton and among top 5 coal reserves countries.

      The UK is full of coal.
      Most of Wales, Scotland and the county of Yorkshire England, Yorkshire being the largest English county all sit on top of coal seams.
      Cornwall was famous for Tin mining dating back to the Roman era.
