Description

Using first-hand accounts and extensive photography, author David Bell pieces together what life was like in Leicestershire’s coal mines. The life of a miner before, during and after the Miners' Strike.This fascinating and meticulously researched book brings together the rarely told stories of local people who made their living from the collieries - their ups and the downs, the challenges they faced, and the way their lives changed when the mines were closed in the 1990s. A fascinating collection of contemporary photographs completes this unique and evocative picture of mining life in Leicestershire - the conditions, the work, the people and their humour.
