It all looks rather peaceful and idyllic, how times change.

I had a job in Cotgrave, Notts three or four year ago and going for a pint after work, i was mobbed by a gang of old timers when they heard my accent. Turns out they'd moved down there in the 70's to work at the pit when Radcliffe came down. I had many a home cooked meal despite being 200 miles from home. Best folk in the world, us
I think there was a big recruiting drive for the nottinghamshire coalfields in the 70s, the Radcliffe men would've been ideal candidates
