Posted: 19/06/2011 10:34:03 Reply | Quote I joined Aditnow because my attention has been drawn to Snowdown Colliery, Kent, by an old potholing friend. I know quite a lot about Snowdown Colliery and at the age of five (1931) I sat on the seat with Mr. Frank Hope as he was winding the cages up and down the shaft with the new Markham's of Chesterfield Electric Winder. My father was a mine official and I knew Mr Elson the mine manager. I have a fund of records and I see some of your correspondents have not exagerated about the working conditions! I have also spent most of my life down the Derbyshire and Welsh Lead/Zinc/copper mines, I also own a third share in the Old Mill Close Lead Mine. Anyone interested in my memories? IP: 86.141.55.82 |

Posted: 20/06/2011 08:40:54 Reply | Quote I would be interested in stories from the Kent collieries! Whenever we went for a seaside holiday in Thanet in the early 1960s, the train always stopped at Chislet Colliery, which I always found an intriguing place looking out of the train window, in complete contrast to the little rural station halts either side. -- Hé !
