How true is the quote in one of the clips from the 1960's: -
"Britain has the best developed negative attitude to mineral development anywhere in Europe"
When you look at the clips of Croftys closure, its amazing how many people have forgotten how raw the feelings were back then.
I really hope once the planning permission is granted and construction on surface starts, one of the tv companies will produce a documentary which will follow he reopening process.
There were two documentaries at the time of closure, boom to bust and between a rock and a hard place, which caught the atmosphere well at the time, to see thee reverse would be fantastic.
