coal miner
« on: Saturday 02 February 13 14:01 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know where I could get info on Bagworth Colliery and Desford Colliery Leicestershire.
Most of my ancestors on my father's side of the family worked down the pits.
wondered if their might be a list of workers etc.

Thanks  :)
I never thought to ask them. I have met one of the guys that run the society and brought several booklets on Bagworth from them.
I'm not sure if they have written one on the pits yet, it's worth asking though.
