I see a few of my photos of myself are in the vid (1:55 & 2:35 mins) and I was also one of the lads holding the lighting rigs on some of the other photos too such as the one at 2:14. Brill video 👍

This absolutely moved me to tears.. brave, brave men to have gone down that shaft day in, day out... I salute you all. My Great Grandfather, Robert Spence Kirton worked in that mine until he went to fight in WW1. He didn't return. His name is on the remembrance plaque in Thompson Road Cricket Ground
