Description
Doncaster's Collieries by Peter Tuffrey is a nostalgic look at the town's industrial heritage. The author's personal connection to the area, having grown up surrounded by the collieries, lends an air of authenticity to his account. Thirteen pits are examined in detail, from elaborate ceremonies marking their start to the disputes that led to their closure.
