Coal Mining in Lancashire, the photographic record by Alan Davies

This talk will explore the photographic record of the Lancashire coal industry from the arrival of photography to the latest explorations of opencast sites. The deep mines have now all closed but the process of photographic documentation of the former coalfield continues, with mine explorers digitally documenting their findings (secretly) in old drift workings.
