Description

The Rossendale Coalfield A history of the coal mining industry in East Lancashire, written by a former miner. This book recalls an industry now long gone, with its stories of accidents and deaths, child labour and the owners of these mines, alongside the proud men who toiled below ground. The small-scale moorland pits that dotted the area around Rawtenstall, Bacup, Rochdale, Littleborough and Heywood continued to operate despite the development of big coalmines. These private coal mines were often worked on a shoestring budget, with miners facing extreme conditions using methods hundreds of years old. The book is illustrated with 50 images, providing a lasting record of the East Lancashire Coalfields.
