Hello @altss1647! Do you happen to know who shot this video? I'm hoping to licence it from the owner. Any help in tracking them down would be very helpful!

@@AJediSurvivor Trouble is when Shirebrook shut I was told Welbeck Colliery was nicking coal from Shirebrook seams and so was Thoresby Colliery, now both of them pits are shut the mines will eventually be flooded out with water or until the water reaches it's level, the toxic water underground will eat away at everything, making every electrical device from control stations to tannoys to lockouts, even water seeping into the miles of cables via any joint useless and would need replacing. As an X miner from Shirebrook I'd love to see collieries make a comeback but it will never happen. The National Coal Mining Museum in Wakefield will be the only place to bring back the good memories of working down a pit, but even that museum has problems with water, the visit down the pit is very limited due to water, take a look at the google earth view of that mine, see the orange coloured rectangle things ? This is actually contaminated water which is pumped out, the red colour is rust. www.google.co.uk/maps/place/National+Coal+Mining+Museum+for+England/@53.6432195,-1.6212415,441m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x4879618b6a81e17b:0x2d02835844c12df!8m2!3d53.6433655!4d-1.6196649?hl=en

as tears flow, 53 million tonnes are now imported not a pit job left. so much for Europe to reflect on ?

Unfortunately the unions destroyed the industry they was meant to protect, increased wages made it unaffordable to mine in the uk. It’s basic economics, when it’s cheaper to import there is no reason to produce ourselves

Too right mate! I was born and bred there up The Model Village end but moved out in late 1988 to Woodhouse but as I worked at the Pit I had a flying visit everyday but when the Pit shut in 1993 I never went back to Shirebrook until 2009 and was pretty shocked then! But went around Shirebrook again in 2012 and god was I in for a shock!! These people need burning out.

ian8354 They need burning out?? For fuck's sake man,you mean you would sit by and watch something as heinous as this happen?? Who do you blame for them being here in the first bloody place? If the treacherous twats down in Westminster had not dragged us further and further into the EU,all the various treaties under Tony Blair too,unrestricted immigration across member states?? In their position what would you do,at least they have the bollocks to get on their bike and go and look for what they think is a better life,instead of sitting moaning about the unfairness of life.They land,get jobs,and work,half the idle shits around here are busy propping up Wetherspoons with their nash or pretending to be disabled for the extra cash.Don't blame the Poles,blame those in power for the circumstances which bring them here if anything.

Hmmm! Our next door neighbours are a family of Poles, been in this country for 9 years, they all claim benefits - they all work full time jobs, be it below NMW and don't pay any taxes - drive and run two cars and to this day not once have I ever seen a tax disc in the window or have insurance! How do I know this!! They've bloody told me, fuck britsh government they say I pay no taxes fuck government. Makes me sick! if they do come over and work then do it like me and my missus have done for the past 30 years and paid our taxes correctly, no doubt if we sponged the system me and the missus would be behind bars but not the poles.

badgerer1 Again,very true.Tony Blair was the twat who,in making Labour seem agreeable to the monied,the middle and chattering classes of the London dinner party set,got into bed with money and it was ball's to such as you and I who had voted for a socialist party-whose main priority should be the working man.All you speak of stemmed from there and this man is worth a mint now,as he will speak to and for anyone who will meet his costs,no matter how despotic or corrupt.I have no faith in politics any more as an engine for change as a result,and really do not know who to vote for nowadays if anyone,seems to me when you vote,you vote for the least worst of a usually bad lot.I hate the whole lying,poxy lot of them to tell the truth.

An iconic piece of footage,100yrs to build up,and a matter of minuites to reduce to dust,sad indictment for something which despite all, heated homes,provided wages,gave men work and money to spend and self respect.

Nice set of piccies recording what is now a bygone time,I remember all those sights well and was sorry to see them go when it was actually inevitable that they would.Shirebrook was never really the same after all that.
