The young Earthwatcher

The young Earthwatcher
Me at Orgreave in 1976!

One of the colliery surveyors took this photo just after I'd come out of the pit.

My Grandmother who lived all her life in the south of England could not believe that I worked in a job where I got dirty with coal dust, so this was taken just to show her.

Orgreave Colliery was located on the east side of Sheffield, between Handsworth and Treeton. It was opened in 1851 and closed due to exhaustion in 1981 - 130 years of continuous coal production.

Cämmerer zu Nau, Erika Akire, have particularly liked this photo
