How decades of neglect deepened the decline of our former coalfields 📉
Thatcher may have closed the mines, but the governments that followed also had a hand in the decline of former coalfield areas.

Side note: The original meaning of the word “redneck” derives from the red bandanas the striking miners wore during the Colorado Coalfield War and West Virginia Mine Wars. The bandanas became a symbol of the miners’ unity in their struggle against powerful corporations.

The coalfield workhorse, and the locomotive that was the absolute definition of red stripe Railfreight livery. Built in Yorkshire at the mighty Doncaster Works, with 3300hp on tap from that Ruston Paxman power unit! Hugely missed! #Class58 #Bone #RedStripeRailfreight

The Squatter’s Cottage at Blists Hill was built around 1830 by miner Michael Corbett on waste land. Such cottages were common in the Coalbrookdale Coalfield. They stood on unregulated commons, with families paying a 30 shilling yearly encroachment fine for up to 60 years to be allowed to stay.
