I remember when I was younger, (but not dead young but don't laugh) being surprised to hear there was coalfields in Kent. I thought they were all up north or in Wales. I thought people down south would be too posh to want pits near them. Like I say. I was young.
There was a sizeable Somerset coalfield many years ago. Last pit closed in 1973.
