Miners of Silverwood Colliery remembered

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 unveiled a memorial both to the miners who worked at the colliery and to those who lost their lives.
