Harworth Colliery Remembered.

[@petemoss8625]

I wanted to cry watching this, I remember starting at this pit from leaving school 1973. To think of all those ghost still down there walking the miles of workings, I know i still have dreams of those days. Great video Micheal, and thankyou for preserving the history.

A great tribute, I worked there from 1991 for 13 years and with a good few in the photos. Happy times!

having never worked at a pit in my entire life i often saw these places as landmarks & from memory i heard somewhere that harworth had been mothballed & was used to take machinery into the seams that maltby were working until the closure of the pit which put the lads at carlton coking plant out of work at the same time sealed the fate of harworth, i see the same as everyone whos worked in the coal fields & thats they should never have shut the pits its not just the tories its also labour that helped close them cos if you remember rightly the ones in power at the time these last pits closed was infact labour, kellingley closed when tories got back into power so it shows that they are all as bad as each other & were hell bent on closing the industries we relied heavily on puttting hundreds out of work
