This is now a countryside site and we are looking for pictures and information about when it was a mine that we can use to produce some information panels.
Can anyone help?

[tweak]Link fixed - needed http://[/tweak]

I went in a mine once.... it was dark and scary..... full of weirdos

When do I get my soapbox, I need to rant on about some b***cks

That link doesn't appear to work Lee.

The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.

Thanks, its a start. What I really want is some human interest stories. People like to know about people.

Something like this but I assume pertaining to Westthorpe. I like the poem.

Local papers might be your best bet.
