Good afternoon members of the Heritage Society.
This is a long shot but I thought I would try it anyway. Does anybody have a spare copy of the DVD that was made about the Bath Stone Mines that was done for the Mine Stabilisation Project? It is the one that shows Bath Stone being mined currently. Alternatively, is anyone prepared to make a copy of their own DVD as a kind gesture?
In the early 1980′s I was part of a group of men that reopened the mine at Limpley Stoke and I have fading memories of what the mines looked like. I would also like to show a couple of people what I used to do when I worked underground.
I would be prepared to swap a taped interview with an old retired stone miner that I recorded in the 1980′s in which the miner describes life and work in the stone mines before WW2.
I can be reached on the above email address.
Regards.
John Millar
Thanks John. It was good to hear from you and of your really interesting story.
I hadn’t heard of the DVD and will attempt to trace a copy. As well as asking my Committee, we will put out a Newsletter in a couple of weeks and I will quote your message in full.
Yours,
Malcolm
