Suggest we have a "sticky" here on interesting historical links.

Here's a start

http://welshcoalmines.co.uk/ Really good mining valley poetry

I think the welshcoalmines link was given on the old Ferndale forum but thanks for reminding us about it. I had never looked at the forum part of the site before and there's a mine of information there. Alan, there might be someone there with more info re the 1867 explosion ?
