"A Mining Song" 

sung by Hank Taylor, who used to be a miner himself. He filmed his song at Pleasley Colliery and the areas near it in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. The song is very emotional and helps us understand the strong bonds formed by the miners and the tough challenges they overcame.

Pleasley Colliery when it was still a busy coal mine. You'll see the old buildings that aren't there anymore and the steam winder engines, the big machines that were used to lift the coal out of the ground.
