Hi! my name is Bill Riley. I used to work in the coal mines. I was born in Blyth, Northumberland, England and I started work in 1958 at Bates Colliery in Blyth. I also worked at West Cannock 5's, in Staffordshire, and at Shirebrook Colliery, in Derbyshire. I was made redundant in 1993 when Shirebrook was closed as part of the Government pit closure policy. In years to come kids may be asking their parents, what were pits? what were miners?, along with other searching questions. The history books will outline the main features of mining, but may not capture the more down to earth aspects of working below ground.
