Testing for gas ~
MOH's father spent his working life underground mining for coal. A tribute was erected on the top of what was spoils from a mine, this is now the highest point in Nottinghamshire, sadly this tribute, a miner and his lamp has been vandalised, the miner has now lost his lamp, what a shame.
I hate enclosed spaces and therefore could never cope with what these men have lived with day in day out. Bravo to the miners.Photographs taken in Nottinghamshire, UK. by Blu

Yes indeed, their freedom made me shed a tear ot two :) TFx
My grandfather was a miner in Nottinghamshire, so those photos are very appropriate.
Hurray for the freedom of the miners!
My father in law was a miner in Nottinghamshire too.My claim to fame was to sing to Authur Scargill when he came for a meal at Shepherds restaurant at the height of his involvement with the strike. We were the resident duo.
I can't believe they haven't replaced the lamp. It could easily be welded securely.
My grandfather was a miner in Durham-special people.
My father also spent his working life(50 years) underground in Northumberland....very special people.
It's a difficult and thankless job, and I'm grateful that it is not a job option in Minneapolis.
