What was it like working in the Pits?


I only knew a few that worked underground but every one of them said that they wouldn’t want it for their children.

Most of the lads from my neighborhood went into the Heavy End of the Steelworks and those that are left are coming close to retirement.

I’ve always thought that this is a beautiful, maybe romanticised look at mining in Wales by Richard Burton.
