This Photo appeared on a 2016 Calendar for Lea Hall and Brereton Collieries Memorial Society.
It's shows our team after returning to the surface after a long long shift tackling an underground gob fire.

Bloody Hell where as all the time gone :thinks:

Good lads there, all my direct ancestors both on my dad and my mother's side were coalminers going back to 1820s. Wonder what the conditions were like back then as they were bad enough in modern times

A flame safety lamp Peter. If you used it for nothing else it certainly kept your Balls warm :sob:

I did recognise the Davey Lamp, better that next to your balls than a budgie:thinks:
