Don't think we can imagine what a tough way to make a living that must have been. Great tribute! V

The road we took from the beginning to here was not easy nor will the road to the future in spite of our many "improvements". To them. Vote.

A very fitting memorial to those who sacrificed all those years ago. Thanks for sharing some of the history of your hometown with us. V

Wow, they have been mining there a long time. Nice to see them remembered.

A wonderful tribute for the workers who lost their lives..

If Lumley can honor miners and move on from coal, perhaps the rest of the world can too.

Sad always to think of young lives being lost...their choices were few, their risks many.

Happy New Year, John, Mandy and boys !!

must have been grim work at the best of times, and of course dangerous in many ways..

I think people do forget just how reliant we were on coal at one time,
and what essential work those miners were performing.

Impressive memorial John! There were no deaths after 1827? V

Thank you for giving us an opportunity of remembering and thinking over about common people, who are always so important.

and never forget the many people who died building our railways - those embankments, cuttings, bridges, viaducts and tunnels are still used by thousands each day but the victims are rarely remembered. This is an unusual reminder of those who died in industry.
