About this ebook
Reg Brown
Reg Brown is a retired engineer living in the north of England. He was raised in a South Yorkshire coal mining community, where both his grandfathers and most of the men of the village were employed at the local pit. He grew up with miner's gossip and mining folklore constantly in his ears. The fluctuating fortunes of the miners and their families triggered in the author an abiding interest in their work and their culture, which is reflected in these pages.
