Snap time for two miners.
Mind the mice, rats and crafty pit ponies lads.
Also known as bait time in NE.

Photographs of mine rescuers always fascinate me. This colourised close-up from Monk Bretton, Barnsley is compelling in its detail and impact.

Back in 2012 (ish) we sent a submersible camera and then divers right down to pit bottom - in part to understand the supports of the 1836 rising main.
Some of the bravest men have ever met, was a real challenge - will find the film and send you a copy!

Love the work of George Large (b1936) because of the way he portrays working people. Stanley Spencer & cubist influenced.

Trees once bare in winter are daring you to ignore them now.
Before the pink confetti falls, take time to notice the fleeting beauty of blossom where you are.
