Lancaster Bomber from WWII - Eastbourne 2009
Personally od ho back tomorrow, this reminds me when I was fit, strong and young. Now we live in a soft bull shiit world we're the youngef generation has no clue to real work. I swear 90 % of them would curl up in a ball at the face entry, that's if they got down the shaft on a trainee draw or a pleasnt ride down a drift !
This takes me back worked 9 years down the mine in the uk
Спасибо за видео. Помню доставку в шахте. Секции весом по девять тонн это серьёзно! 😊
Таких конвейеров у нас уже нет. А так в остальном много похожего. Спасибо за видео.
Я так понимаю уголь выходит на поверхность качественный почти без породы.
Спасибо за видео. Интересно🤔💭.
Мой отец успел поработать за врубимашиной. Я видел только на картинках. Смотрю как работают мужики всё как у нас. Очень похоже. Только разговаривают по английскому. Я с Украины. Спасибо за видео. 😊
Работа грязная тяжёлая но нужно иметь смекалку и постоянно включать мозги. Уважение.
Интересная технология. Можно перенять.
Кого перенять-то? На лопате е&ашить?! 😂Есть нормальные комбайны и механизированные щиты есть со скребковыми конвеерами, а это прошлый век-история
Уважение таким людям👏
They were the good old days great comradeship if the pits were still alive today I would still be their
My grandfather worked 53 years under ground was there when united mine workers organized
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for mining videos with no music or commentary but all I could find was people talking about how poor they are and bla bla so I said if I keep watching different mining videos my algorithm will eventually show me the one I’m looking for and now here it is thanks CZcams for digging deep for me
Sometimes when I were gumming, I didn't even have time to wave goodbye to me shovel ! 😆😅😂
Where's the gumma
I worked 17 years in bitumimous coal mines in Pennsylvania. Longwall and room and pillar mining. It was exciting watching roof collapses. Props bowing and cracking and bolts pop out of the roof.
What a cool operation. I enjoyed this. Those cars were moving pretty quickly underground!
i have never seen roof supports so small..... they are tiny.... thanks for posting
Used to load load coal from this mine
That's cool. Bituminous?
Tubs going and coming with no lamps on them
thank you from my warn coal heated power house. tx yu
I'm a former miner myself, and when I see this movie, I see a lot of talented guys who deserve all the praise they can get. I wish I could be a part of the work! Good job!
Wow
Nice to see the guy running the shovel had a mask on. Have no idea how he could just sit there and breath that much coal dust? No idea what that machine cutting the coal is but it sure lacked in getting the coal on the belt. I guess something is better then nothing though. Brutal, just brutal. Glad someone took the time to capture this, to get to see something I have never seen before.
The machine is an AB15 Longwall coal cutter(similar to the AB15 Arc Wall cutter used for driving roadways at the same pit). They were used back in the 1950's by the coal board ( maybe earlier ) and were known as "the widow maker" because of the dust produced. When the Coal Board moved on to more modern equipment private mines , such as Blenkinsopp , would buy them. This video was taken in the 80's or early 90's.
We used one of these in the private mine I worked at.
Nobody is wearing a Self-Rescuer?
I worked on a hand filled face in the 3 foot Tilley seam, Ashington Colliery, Northumberland - circa 1968.
Great to see big geordie on there, hard graft and tough lads,this should have alot more views. Thank you for the video.
A couple of years since I’ve seen geordie. Someone else who should get a lot more views is ‘rossendalecollieries’ who has just started covering the Blenkinsopp pits, Byron etc , and also has many videos of Alston Moor pits. Fascinating .
Хороший пласт.
Youngsters watching this will be totally incapable of understanding why we loved the job .... but knowing what we know, most of us would chose the same if we had our time over again. It was not so much the challenge of the job itself as the fellas you worked with that really made it so good. I am decades retired and totally knackered, but I miss it still.
I've more respect for miners than any other man alive.
Don’t know what this place is about but not one person had a self rescuers device on (rebreather) only a battery for their light (that’s it) dangerous place to work even shoved “against the belt” that will get you HURT!!! Don’t like their mine!!! Looks like problems with safety for SURE!!!
17.56 i thought Silvester's were banned
One not too far away from this mine at Alston called ayle pit series of videos on youtube
Mmmm I can smell the atmosphere, taste the coal dust, and feel the coal between my knee pads and my knees as it cuts into my flesh as i watch the guy is shovelling Oh, the memories that always come back when watching these mining videos.Its old style to what I've always did. I worked on long wall faces using trappaners for house coal. And then shearers for power stations ect.
Where was this mine ???
Any one know how many small private mines we have left in the UK ???????.
One , Ayle Colliery , and possibly a couple of hobby pits.
15 let praxe sorry
To snad není možné naše technologie je úplně jinde naše šachty zvrel dlouhý a jak vidím tady dělají jak za krále kolečka ale dělají kde se stala chyba
No health and safety when using that tippler.
Hard manual work this.
No,wonder men was fked,with their backs,knees chest doing this for 20,toall their working life's,40 years,from 16 years old.
Winning coal the hard way.
We're these pit's run by the coal board or were they run by the miner's .
Originally opened in the 1800's. Re opened privately in the 1980's , sold to coal board / R J Budge in the 1990's , re-purchased privately and eventually closed in 2002.
And not run by the miners.
Thanks for the vids, this is proper graft not like what they call work now. I have been at the coalface and you have to be tough and resilient.
I remember going here to do a job on a loading shovel around the late 90’s. looks like they’re under Milburns land for the black stuff.
Crickey, old 4500 shovel and a Hymac 580, plenty of slow tired plant and machinery there. Some good stuff coming off the Belt though. I bet it was a grand place to work in winter!.
This mine was at the border of Cumbria and Northumberland at Greenhead. Blenkinsopp closed in 2001 I believe under Hargreaves.
Looks a bit antiquated for 2001.
@Mark Beale, for a guess ,as I look at their helmet. Cap lamp and clothing I'm thinking the 70s the lock.out was the sane as I've always known thfrom when I first went underground at 17 in 1977. I noticed they aren't wearing self rescuers. They became mandatory by 1970, I believe.
You can see its heavy manual work,no wonder their backs,'and knee's,and chests are fked,after working 25 years plus.The youngsters to day,wouldn't do this,they would brick them self's.' My respect to all you coal miners."
God bless these men
W 40 pans
Being a anthracite coalminer for the past 25 years now retired I watch these videos and get homesick for the coalmines it gets in your blood it's comramity or something but I miss doing it it's a brotherhood you learn respect for your fellow miner's it was hard dirty and dangerous work but I loved every second of it and would do it all over again shout out to all my brother coalminers out there and around the world
Me too, duck. I really miss working in the deep mines of N/E Derbyshire. England. All our mines have gone now. Destroyed by our government and all the bull shit about planet warming. Now look at the shite we're in. The government doesn't give a flying toss how we're all struggling now. They're all cosy in their houses that we help buy for them. And they're definitely not cutting down on heating their homes up!
Reckon anthracite worth good money, if can get it.
