The last mines in our area closed a long time ago, but this site will be good background interest if you have mining ancestors. The UK's largest and most comprehensive website concerning the history of coalmining - including a searchable database of over 164,000 recorded accidents and deaths. The site is now maintained by a company of solicitors (based in Yorkshire) as "A memorial to those who paid the ultimate price of coal." Well done them! 		81
