Memories of Mining Industry
Description
Peter Wainwright PB 60pp
Peter gives a fascinating account of his activities in the coal industry from the time he grew up in a mining village to the time he retired as a senior official with the NCB after the 1984 Miners' Strike. The anecdotes and stories are earthy and gritty, one senses a little of the life in the mine as this gem of writing shines through the inky coal darkness of the mine.
