Those of you with an interest in coal mining in Leeds will be interested in the publication that popped through my door this morningCoal Mining in Morley - British Mining No.87by Jim Thorp published by the Northern Mines Research SocietyISBN-13: 978-0-901450-65-4I haven't obviously had a chance to fully digest its contents, but suffice to say that it is to the very high standard I have come to expect from the NMRS. Unsurprisingly there is a big section given over to the Morley Main Disaster, cracking illustrations of Howley Park, West Ardsley, East Ardsely and Morley Main and plenty of social commentary.Your best bet to get a copy is either join the NMRS (£15 per annum -which includes typically one detailed monograph and one volume of memoirs see http://www.nmrs.co.uk/ for details), by enquiry to NMRS Publications ([email protected]) or try Mike Moore Books (http://www.moorebooks.co.uk)
