Title: Re: Random question Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 16:28:10 Don Rogers was born in Paulton, my father in Midsomer Norton, my grandfather worked the signal box at Radstock. Somerset coalfield....Don's father like many footballers of yore was a miner.
Next door to Don, lived Danny Bartley who had a decent career....they learnt their skills on a bit slag at the end of the terrace. Like many a TEFer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Bartley Title: Re: Random question Post by: BANGKOK RED on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 16:30:33 And there was me thinking that the random question would be "Can I buy the advertiser at the county Ground"

Title: Re: Random question Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 17:00:20 I've been to Paulton Park. It's a hoot. Is it a theme park about the vicissitudes of 200 years coal mining in the West Country ? Title: Re: Random question Post by: axs on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 17:03:20 Is it a theme park about the vicissitudes of 200 years coal mining in the West Country ? Possibly? Title: Re: Random question Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 17:14:00 Shaktar as in Shaktar Donetsk....means miners, as in coal miners.
They're playing Toulouse in the Europa League, somewhat randomly on ITV 4 tonight. Here's a little something from the much missed Joe Strummer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCvGLSFIo6I Title: Re: Random question Post by: leefer on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 19:14:50 http://www.unionancestors.co.uk/SMA.htm
Yes Reg...was a big part of the area for generations..........alot of the mines are used for storage now.....deeds and the such that have to be kept for years by law. On my travels ive been to a few and got to saty was really suprised that the area had such a big link with it....also the Forest of Dean i believe had a biggish mining industry of some sort.... Title: Re: Random question Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 19:50:44 Good find Leefer...I used to go down there as a nipper visiting family, and remember the slag heaps....to which the name Batch should append. After Aberfan though, I daresay folk saw them in a less romantic way.
The ranks of miners cottages, still had outside bathrooms and lavs, when I first started going there....I'd imagine they're quite nicely converted these days. There is an ace network of cycle tracks around the Forest of Dean, which link up many bits of old pit railway, tramway etc. the free miners were still eking a living when I was last there, maybe 6 years ago. Title: Re: Random question Post by: leefer on Thursday, November 5, 2009, 19:58:02 I deliver to Radstock regular....notice it has a museum now,will pop in one day.
