Title: Derbyshire Coalmines
Post by: pauldurham131 on Sunday 01 March 09 06:31 GMT (UK)

Hi
    Is their anywhere I can find a list of mines that existed in North Derbyshire or South Yorkshire that existed around 1800-1850 as my ancesters were miners. I would also like to know if any closed at this time or had accidents.

                              Hope someone can help
                                          Regards
                                                  Paul

Thanks Gary
                The site seems to have closed just like most of the mines. I will try it again another time it could be a server fault
