Women and the Pits |
This website is the result of a vision shared by myself and Ian
Winstanley. Our goal is to provide an informative and factual site
of the history of the women working in the mines of the United
Kingdom. All information on this site is from historical records
and text collected by Ian; I've simply tried to put it all together with
his help and lots of reading! Of course, this is not a finished
product, much work remains to be done. The history of women in the
mines is fascinating and I hope that all who visit will find something
of interest. |
