Coal Mining Kent Uk 1970s
Snowdown, Kent, England circa December 1976.
Snowdown Colliery, Albert Christian getting undressed and smoking in the pithead baths. There were two sides the clean and dirty side, a miner had a locker in each, and on the dirty side he hung his 'pit black' working clothes. Snowdown was the deepest and hottest colliery in the entire Kent coalfield and was known as Dante’s Inferno, it finally closed down in 1987
