Edge Hill Mining Town #Liverpool Red Hill Mining Town
Yeah you leave me holding on
In Edge Hill town
See lights go down
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm still waiting

Red Hill Mining Town is a song by the rock band U2. It is the sixth track from their 1987 album, The Joshua Tree. A rough version of this song was worked on during the early Joshua Tree album writing sessions in 1985. The focus of the song is on the National Union of Mineworkers' 1984 strike in Great Britain that occurred in response to the National Coal Board's campaign to close uneconomic mines. A music video was produced in February 1987 for the song and was directed by Neil Jordan. The song was planned for release as the album's second single, but it was ultimately shelved in favour of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".

Edge Hill is a district of Liverpool, England, south east of the city centre, bordered by Kensington, Wavertree and Toxteth. Edge Hill University was founded there, but moved to Ormskirk in the 1930s.
Did you know: all trains to the central Liverpool Lime Street station used to stop at Edge Hill, giving rise to the expression "getting off at Edge Hill" as a euphemism for coitus interruptus.
