pit plate
Todays blip is a commemorative plate of Pye Hill no1 and no 2 .. They were 2 very productive coal mines in the Nottinghamshire coal fields in the 70s and early 80s. Then we probably all know what happened then, the Thatcher government closed them all down., Even today old miners still fall out and argue over the strike, as some were on strike and some wasnt.. it split the community then and it never recovered..
