  • Today, I have the privilege of conducting a brief interview with one of the miners who worked in the depths of this mine. Through this conversation, we will gain insight into the daily lives of these hardworking individuals who risked their lives each day in our coal mines. Regrettably, my time with the miner was limited due to his health condition, and I am aware that this topic is sensitive for some viewers.
    Parkside Colliery was a coal mine located in Newton-le-Willows St Helens, Parkside was in operation from 1974 until its closure in 1993. Parkside Colliery was the most modern and safest coal Pitt to be built in the Lancashire Coalfield.

    Hi guys, just to inform you, unfortunately, Roy Dysart, who I'm interviewing in this video, has recently passed away. As you can see in this video, he wasn't well. His health continued to decline following this video. Unfortunately, there was nothing more anyone could do for him. Roy rest in peace, sir, and thank you for all you have done.

    These man are heroes. In an ideal world they should have long healthy retirements after serving the country and keeping the lights on. Unfortunately, for many, it's not to be.

      Yes, I agree with you. Unfortunately, Roy is extremely I'll, and there's not much that can be done. The miners are definitely our unsung heroes, and they should have been treated much better after the mines closed. It destroyed many lives, and to this day, it still has a powerful impact.

    Coal mining should have been phased out during the 1960s.

    Vertical shaft or mine entry making Is a tedious job. It takes 2or 4 y to make a underground mine productive.an inclined shaft is easier.an open cut mine is easy with invention of heavy earth moving machinery. I am an old miner from India.

    And all the miners who died during the wars in UK and globally, fuelling the war efforts. Never included in statistics.
