SWADLINCOTE mining subsidence 1954

The British Pathe Cameras visited Swadlincote in 1954 to show the extent of subsidence from mining. This is a low resolution copy available free from the British Pathe website. High resolution copies can be purchased from Pathe for a small fee.
I believe the voice on the film is that of Eamonn Andrews. A famous Sports commentator and T.V. presenter in the 1950's

Can't believe I've just found this. I've lived in Swad my whole life(28yrs)

I grew up in Woodville in the late 50s & early 60s (now living in Australia) & I remember the subsidence & pit props on the houses
