The striking Kent miners will never be forgotten ...what heroes.

Remember doing a gig with my dad at the Snowdown Working Mens club December 1992, fond memories, as I grew up in the 1980s in Preston Nr Wingham and remember these pits.

My grandfather Sidney Irons worked down that pit in the 40s & 50s, as did my uncle William Irons right up until it’s closure in 1987.

Just seen this video,it brings back so many memories of when I worked at snowdon Strange as it may seem it was probably the best working years of my working life I often wonder what happened to every body after it closed. D Rowland,night shift snowdon colliery .

+Mark Lawrence So true, all this country has now is extortion by direct and indirect taxation, sad really when you think of all of the industries now closed down, its suicide of a nation.

I recognise a few faces there.

Yes most of the collieries are now razed to the ground.Just like gasworks,steel works,pottery kilns and northern mills. In their place we have tescos and sainsburys and car parks. This is NOT an improvement on the landscape ! This could be become a wonderful heritage site just like the Big Pit Iron furnace at Blaenavon in South Wales. Just needs some investment. Don't let them pull it down KEEP YOUR HISTORY !
