Little Wonder Coal Seam
While working at the Radcliffe site every couple of weeks we would have to dig through the Whinsill. It was tough on all of our equipment, I cannot remember now which dragline took the brunt of the work; DG1 DG2 or the Marion. There was a coal seam running up the Broomhill Road called the Little Wonder which was the best heating coal with no ash ever. I would put a small lump on my mothers fire and within ten minute her hot water tank would be boiling and bubbling to the point we would have to run off the hot water.
