I would walk past the _Priests Pool_ every day for several years when I worked at the Philips factory in Belmont There was also a body found just off the road on the other side of a hedge in the mid 90's, that had been there possibly over a century. Bones were initially unearthed by a tractor but after investigation a whole (male) body was found, in skeleton form. I also -know- knew the lad that was killed while being chased around the area of the Motorway bridge at Rennies Lane. At the time there was friction between Sherburn Rd / Gilesgate lot and the _early_ Belmont 'Casuals' Rest in Peace Anthony

I was a 11 years old french boy and I remember that french CGT union sent a truck with clothes blanklets and Xmas gifts for Kids to Uk and a beautiful speaking from the leader. "Their struggle is our, too" Sorry for my bad english....

I’d love to know the name of this music - seems spot-on to evoke the atmosphere there! This was my childhood playground in the late ‘40s- ‘50s.

Acknowledgement of at least one photo would be nice, I paid £100 for the Grange Iron Works postcard, the crease mark on my original matches the one used.

Any further information on the aeroplane engines used to fill the shaft?

Comrades look at Easington now 2018, its a Dump boarded up school shops houses etc etc.

I know this place gilesgate church is haunted to as well as the vane tempest

Took some sixth formers down Vane Tempest in 1970, an experience I'm sure they'll never forget. Thanks for posting.

my life from '58 to '65

I cycle through these routes very often. I've never actually seen anything but have felt strange when passing by. Spooky!

its al good

just after the pubs used to close? ;)

I will check it out i live near there

Anyone for the Colliery Club ?

Look back at any footage of the day,read the books by certain accredited authors of the facts of the day,and you will see,many of Notts did come out,and stayed out to the end,at great cost to themselves,criminal records,broken homes,and all the rest.a percentage did not,but that was the same the coalfields through,and in any dispute anywhere you will find those who,ll unite,and those who will not.It is human nature,everywhere.

Local agreements in the coalfields gave local branches of the NUM to act as they wished on certain issues,without toeing the national line.More militant Yorkshire was always going to come out-period,Notts sadly had a history that goes back to 1926 and the Spencer union which broke away from the NMFGB as it was then,but many Nott's men came out too.Arthur relied on the glory of past victory at Saltley gate to carry him through I feel,a little.The miners never could have won,the odd's alone.

Looking back to be honest,there was only ever going to be one outcome,the tories and Maggie were under no illusions that they,d have a battle on their hands,Keith Joseph et al and all the advisors knew it too,and with the huge budget at their disposal and sustained campaign of rumour,lies,and all the rest of it,the million they spent on policing,paramilitary style policing,showed they meant in no uncertain terms,to win at all costs.The whole labour market now suffers for those times.

There where national agreements in the NUM,and local agreements,it's no good opting for one when you need the other really.Nott's was a highly mechanised coalfield with plenty of money on tap 24hrs,good faces,working conditions,plenty of money to be made by those who worked it,an area of high investment.NACODS could have more too,in fact if they had the outcome could have been different.If you look back in time,1984 parralells 1926 and the general strike,a catalyst even in Nott's case.

l remember a few years before the strike there was a national vote on introducing a productivity bonus scheme. The national vote was against ,with only the Nottingham area voting for it . The Notts area then ignored the national vote, stabbed the rest of the NUM in the back and made a seperate deal with the NCB. So would they have come out in 84 even if a national ballot had taken place ?. As for the Notts men who stayed loyal to the NUM and came out, the bravest of the brave , hero's every one.

This is what local agreements get you,unless everyone's shoulder goes to the wheel.you may as well not bother.But check your facts,not all of Notts worked,many stood it out to the end,at great personal cost.

anti-capitalists unite!

Even if a national ballot had been called and the vote was in favour of strike l still doubt it very much if Notts would have come out .

Lions led by a Donkey, Sadly beaten is what you get get when you call a miner's strike in summer with coal stocks at record levels actually at the power stations. Oh and refuse to call a ballot because you know the Notts Miners are against the strike. Scargill in effect betrayed the trust placed in him to lead the NUM properly,

i think this is a great tribute to the men who fouhgt for there jobs,but,as we all knew they fought in vain.at least they can hold there heads HIGH not like the "scabs"who helped there defeat.ONE DAY WE WILL DANCE ON HER GRAVE

should get it investigate by a paranormal group
