Personally od ho back tomorrow, this reminds me when I was fit, strong and young. Now we live in a soft bull shiit world we're the youngef generation has no clue to real work. I swear 90 % of them would curl up in a ball at the face entry, that's if they got down the shaft on a trainee draw or a pleasnt ride down a drift !

Nice to see the guy running the shovel had a mask on. Have no idea how he could just sit there and breath that much coal dust? No idea what that machine cutting the coal is but it sure lacked in getting the coal on the belt. I guess something is better then nothing though. Brutal, just brutal. Glad someone took the time to capture this, to get to see something I have never seen before.
@PeterBridges-oq7zb Жыл бұрын
The machine is an AB15 Longwall coal cutter(similar to the AB15 Arc Wall cutter used for driving roadways at the same pit). They were used back in the 1950's by the coal board ( maybe earlier ) and were known as "the widow maker" because of the dust produced. When the Coal Board moved on to more modern equipment private mines , such as Blenkinsopp , would buy them. This video was taken in the 80's or early 90's.

Youngsters watching this will be totally incapable of understanding why we loved the job .... but knowing what we know, most of us would chose the same if we had our time over again. It was not so much the challenge of the job itself as the fellas you worked with that really made it so good. I am decades retired and totally knackered, but I miss it still.

Mmmm I can smell the atmosphere, taste the coal dust, and feel the coal between my knee pads and my knees as it cuts into my flesh as i watch the guy is shovelling Oh, the memories that always come back when watching these mining videos.Its old style to what I've always did. I worked on long wall faces using trappaners for house coal. And then shearers for power stations ect.
