It may look a bet grim, but the coast area is nice. The grassland at the start of the video is the site of the former colliery.

Like many other mining villages Left to rot by a political system that does not care. Shops Schools closed down and left to rot. Let us all help to speed the day when this wonderful earth and its rich resources are held in common for the benefit of all humanity. Working men and women of All Lands Unite.

Grew up there, went to one of those schools, picked coal from the beach to earn some pocket-money but have only a few happy memories. I was a bit of a scrawny runt back then, preferred my books to footy, my dad wasn't a miner and so I was fair game. That said, spent many hours on the beaches from the Foxholes to Hawthorn and exploring the woods, and loved every minute of it.

Good to have the footage of the schools preserved for posterity, both my parents where school children there in the war, now it’s gone 🥹

Great insight into a once vibrant community. Also went to those schools in the 1960s. I was trying to explain 'sea fret' to someone today actually. I live overseas now. When was this video taken Richard? It looks recent to me, although an earlier post suggests the 1990s. Thanks again.

I Steve. It was shot in 2015. The school is still standing, but plans are foot to knock it down. Here are some recent photos of EC. randallssoapbox.com/?cat=45 It's been left to rot by the council and everyone else sadly.

Not much to show for centuries of toil, it’s a damning indictment of political failure when the Government turns on its people.
