Book description

Mining coal transformed the face of Yorkshire for centuries and around Coal from the Yorkshire coalfields was one of the major source of power behind the global industrial revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the first half of the 20th centuries. In 1950 the North Notts/South Yorks coalfields alone employed 40,000 miners. This volume includes a pictorial history of mining in Yorkshire, concentrating on the 20th century and bringing the story up to the new millennium. It includes pictures of the buildings that survive and many that have been long lost, but focuses on the way mining communities lived and worked.
