Latest | Coal: heart and soul | | 10:35am Monday 12th May 2008 | | What dangers did miners face? What was the bond system? And what do mines have to do with pigeon racing? Owen Amos talks to the author of a new book on Northern mines

chain slips through his hands. He slides

luckily, clings to the same chain, further
down. "I'm gannen to fall," the
younger brother says. "Slide down to
me," the older brother replies, reassuringly. |
