This history unearths the stories of Staffordshire's coal mines, from Roman times through the Industrial Revolution, depressions, strikes, and final closures in the 1980s. Helen Harwood journeys through the mines that defined Staffordshire.

Coal powered homes, railways, pottery kilns, steel foundries, and power stations. Generations depended on this industry, united by hard work and danger. Explore the shared experiences that shaped the county.
