Memorial at Silverwood Colliery honours mining roots
Almost 20 years ago Silverwood Colliery in South Yorkshire closed down leaving hundreds of men looking for work. The area has since been transformed into a nature reserve but people living nearby haven't forgotten their mining roots.
Today they are unveiling a memorial both to the miners who worked at the colliery and to those who lost their lives.
