Bargoed Colliery 1970s

I would like to thank everyone for their kind comments on and off the blog.

A special thanks go to Richard and his family who lent me a book with some very interesting photographs in of Bargoed Colliery and the workers there in the 1970s.

I can not understand a word of it though as it is in Swedish but I recognise a number of the men so I have added a few of the photos

Here is the front cover

It looks like he his having one last drag on his fag before he goes underground for his shift.

I believe these names are of the author and photographer of the book.
