DVD'S & VIDEO'S
DVD - The Welsh Miner : a hard life
The History Of Miners And Mining In Wales. The life of a Welsh miner can, at best, be described as hard, dangerous and unrelenting. Yet there was a special character to the pit towns which made them different to other industrial settlements elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Valley societies were stable and safe places to live with an instinctive democracy and cohesion of classes, where individuals were respected for themselves and their own personal qualities. Featuring extensive interviews of current andex-miners, period imagery and archive footage, this DVD delves into the often humorous but always proud history of Welsh mining.
DVD - The Welsh Miner : the bitter end
The History Of Miners And Mining In Wales. As early as 1914 economical and political concepts were moulding the future of the Welsh colliers and jeopardising the existence of many valley owns and coal pits. This DVD examines the years from the start of World War One to the 1980s and the aftermath of "the bitter end". War, strikes, depression and political and environmental wrangling would ultimately see a once thriving, vital industry and the proud men who worked in it decimated and many a town and village fall by the wayside. Featuring extensive interviews of current and ex-miners, archive imagery and footage.
