Very sad... Why did they not keep the head frames & the winding machines..? Bloody bastards..:

Should turn it into a museum and memorial for all the lives lost digging the black gold

For Christ sake stop living in the past. Yes there was work. There was community. There was loyalty between the working people. There was churches full on Sundays. There was small business family business. Jesus Christ how I miss those beautiful years. What have we now neighbors not knowing one another, zero hour work on poor wages. Churches empty, pubs shutting down. South Wales god bless you.
