Coal Dust & Community - A History of North Derbyshire's Mining History
Couldn't load pickup availability
** This book is currently out of stock - new copies should be arriving later this week. **
Compiled by a former miner with a
deep personal connection to the
subject, this book captures the gritty
reality and enduring spirit of coalfield life in
North Derbyshire - from the soot-stained
faces underground to the warmth of the
welfare halls and holiday camps above.
It captures the rise and fall of industry
through stories of hardship, resilience and
humour. It charts the evolution of mining
and honours the bravery of those who
toiled beneath the surface — often at great
personal cost.
With rare photos, first-hand memories,
and little-known facts, this is more than
just a history book. It’s a tribute to a way
of life now almost vanished, and a reminder
of the proud communities built on coal,
camaraderie, and determination.
Coal Dust and Community offers an
unflinching and deeply human account of
North Derbyshire’s coalfield heritage.
This project is supported by the
National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Let customers speak for us
Bought as a gift for my partner, couldn’t resist as we both spent many a happy hour in the Barrel Organ. He absolutely loves it. T-shirt & print are great quality, great price too. Would highly recommend this fab shop! Thank you 🙏
Good quality and full of great info of that era
Limit anniversary (blue logo) ladies fit T-shirt - various colours
A welcome reminder of Birmingham in the early to mid 80’s. I would like a follow book with more paragraphs/chapters dedicated to the Nightclubs and Pubs of the era. More random photos to go along with them. I played in a band, so the Barrel Organ,The Railway were gigs to aspire too, in Birmingham. The historic Barton Arms,Fighting Cox,Red Lion Kings Heath,49 era and the Junction in Harborne, need to be remembered and recognised more fully. The Tower Ballroom and The Irish Centre for meeting people and more..
Sad not to find a mention
A welcome slice of nostalgia!
Great book. Everything I was hoping it would be. Great customer service too. Perfect thank you.
The memories it brought back were fantastic.
A+
Not only are these books entertaining, but they're also educational. I learned so much about the history of Birmingham's nightlife. Perfect for both young and old
As a music lover, this bundle is gold. It covers the rise of so many bands and the venues that supported them. A real insight into Birmingham's music scene back in the day.
