About the Author
I was born in Burnley in 1947, this Lancashire Town was well known for its cotton mills, industrial factories and collieries. I qualified as a colliery electrician in the 1960's, working in the Burnley area's collieries. Hapton Valley, Thornybank and Bank Hall. When Bank Hall Colliery closed in 1971, I came to South Wales, working at Cynheidre Colliery until it closed in 1989.
