We’ve had an interesting appeal from Colin France who was born in Landywood
in 1969.
“My name is Colin France and I am a former resident of Great Wyrley but
now a resident/City Councillor of Sheffield but I still have my friends and
keen interest of Wyrley. I am currently researching the coalmining history
of Landywood, Cheslyn Hay and Cannock area but I also want to look into
the Walsall area. I would like to collect and document any photographs or
witness accounts or family stories and experiences of what mining was like,
at the coalface but also in the homes of miners. So if anybody has any relevant
material and are willing to let me photocopy it or are willing to talk to
me about coalmining I would very much appreciate it and I will travel down
from Sheffield.
I hope you can help colinfrance1969@hotmail.co.uk
