hi to everyone
just in case you dont know the above group(cchms) have produced a range of books about chase pits and old colliery companies. there is also a web site using the full title where books in print are shown.
for the explorers there is no access to any old workings-all shafts filled in and no drifts-but all the old maps are available from the coal authority at mansfield
currently working at rugeley power station where we are currently dropping load as we havent got enough coal as it comes from indonesia and they cannot find boats to bring it over.demand went up due to nuclear stations problems :oops:

You don't mean the windmills aren't able to cope as well do you? Whatever next? I could start a rant here about Mag the Bag, but I will refrain.

I could start a rant as well. We should heve been building new nuclear power stations years ago.
The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

Wind power is real popular around here in cumbria very one wants to build them all over the hills but in december one fell over in a light breeze so that has kind of put a damper on the plans for now :lol:

Yes, I quite agree. If the politicians had spent as much time, energy, and money, sorting out the comparitively minor problems of nuclear power stations instead of whining about it the whole time, it would have been sorted long ago.

The series of books is very good although one or two are straight off prints from The Cannock Chase Coalfield and its Coal Mines - if you are interested in the subject this is the one to get its an absolute cracker and value for money

The windmill theory is fine on paper. But they make the fields and hills look like 'tellytubie' land, and provide near on zero long term local employment. The only people that benifit are the landowners and the company that sells the electricity.

The book, Cannock Chase Coalfield and its Coal Mines, produced by the CCMHS around 2006 is indeed in many ways a very good book. It must be complimented for the technical descriptions and data provided.

However there are mistakes in the book, some of which do need to be acknowledged and changed.

Just one of these is on page 160 and referring to an accident at Walsall Wood Colliery in March of 1890, which involved injuries and a fatality. There is a youth referred to as the cause. If you look at the Inquest the youth, Bradbury, was in no way to blame.

A discussion of this accident can be seen here on Brownhills Bob's Blog...

Can we keep this subject off aditnow please?
I am one of the biggest 'hammers' of this on my own site, but what I put on my site is my business, what gets done on here is everybody's.

Our common interest binds us together, Religion, politics, anthropogenic climate change, and mineral collecting or dealing are subjects which will divide us.

Seems to me the controversy was put to bed over 7 years ago (check the dates) this more recent post was just a comment on one of their publications.
