Love the sculptures as memorials!

I used to work for the Miners’ international Federation and this particular disaster was still referred to in mining history in the 70s and 80s.<br /><br />It’s good that the miners killed are not forgotten. We owe a huge debt to the men who risked their lives underground for not very high wages.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-279435265584488232013-03-26T22:58:11.240+01:002013-03-26T22:58:11.240+01:00Tragic story!

The miners suffered long after their work ended though. My grandfather had severe lung disease from his years down the mines.<br />Glad you are recovering from your cold.

(I'm really not that woo woo kind of person, but, ...well, maybe I am kind of.) The statutes and museum are very fitting memorials.
