Description
Thursday 19 June, 7pm
A documentary film exploring the narratives and lived experiences of former coalminers from Nottingham, Doncaster and Leeds. These pioneering industrial labourers, families and communities of the East Midlands and the North, offer anecdotes, testimonies, oral histories and cultural memory through their collective experiences, involved in what was once, one of the most dangerous jobs and industries in the world – then and still today. The event will be hosted by local historian, Dr Norma Gregory.
After the screening, there will be Q&A session with special guests, a networking session and a chance to view the nationally acclaimed Digging Deep Black Mineworkers’ Heritage Exhibition.
