My interests are the three collieries that were in my home town of Featherstone. For a start - how do I get the heading altered? "Coal" should not be there and "(mine)" is superfluous.

Best as I can explain it, but do agree that it can look odd. Anyway, welcome to aditnow. -- My avatar is a poor likeness. IP: 88.108.26.107

"Ackton", "Featherstone","Snydale" etc. http://myfeatherstonecollieries.blogspot.com/ IP: 86.183.245.133

However there is a book by Eddie Downes called Yorkshire Collieries 1947 to 1994, which may hold some further information. (If you can get hold of a copy). There may be one in the Mining Museum Library. IP: 94.2.73.141
