  This book discusses about a way of life ended in Leicestershire when Bagworth Colliery, one of the oldest and longest running traditional deep mines in the country, closed in 1991. The author, David Bell has met and talked to some of those ex-miners about what it was like to be part of such a close-knit group. The miners describe their early experiences of working in the local pits and their day-to-day life.
