Brilliant documentary on a lost way of life respect to the miner's who worked in these collierys my Dad was a miner and my grandfather and family members on my dad's side and on my mum's side of the family. Both governments Labour and Tory couldn't give a monkey's about the miner's they got sh-t on in the 1960s the labour government shut more pits down more than the Tory lot. The North East area closed hundreds of pits that could of gone on for 30 plus year's FFS 🧐🤨
