P.H.B Soap, I remember it well. They would sell you as much as you liked from the bath attendant's office. Must have been at near cost as a lot went home with the guys.
I still had my Whittle Colliery soap dish until recently! When we cleared our lockers at the end everything when into an old plastic fertilizer sack, including the soap dish I think!

On the subject of pit head baths, it was a bit dire the shower situation there at Whittle after the merger. Two men to a shower was normal on some shifts.
