The landowner advised me that there had once been an adit from which the Sweet seam was worked above Commonside in Macclesfield. This is likely to have been in the mid-nineteenth century and there is little left of the entrance. However, a short distance away this piece of wrought iron bridge rail is a tangible survivor of the mine.

The entire middle of the island is pinnacles! Even though there is a lot of greenery now it's still around all these pinnacles making the land pretty unusable.

The mining workers of the sand-lime brick mines near Valkenburg (NL) made map, painted on the wall, showing the caves going through the ground in 300-400 metres depth.

Well, also with the map, you don't have any orientation. Feary.

So with my brother stroling around looking at the stuff I spot this woman with all her paint's out and get a photo just as she's folding it up. I finall get the attentiion of my brother so he can get a photo but I've seen another photo I can get with the two of them.

It's forty years since mining ended at Astley Green and the trees have taken over most of the derelict land between the pithead and the canal. One headgear still stands along with its enginehouse and the few other buildings that make up the mining museum here. Without maintenance how much longer will it be before it is declared unsafe and demolished?

These ruins used to hold a waterwheel about 300 years ago to pump water from the mines.

I decided to build a backdrop against which to photograph some of my builds. The results were a bit small, but I figured they were good enough to be posted.

“...Our readers will perceive the Advocate is embellished with an elegant emblematical design, representing a collier in one of the most laborious of his occupations -viz.: removing his tools. The rose of England, the thistle of Scotland, the shamrock of Ireland, and the Welsh leek will be seen tied together by a ribband, representing a National Union, bound together by friendship and mutual interest. Indeed the whole design is beautiful, and does much credit both to the draftsman and engraver....”

 

Edited by William Daniels, The Miners' Advocate was begun in December 1843 as a replacement for The Miners' Journal, newspaper of the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland. Initially it was printed and published in Newcastle by bookseller Thomas Dodds, with distribution in Lancashire undertaken by the Manchester bookseller James Leach. By March 1844 sales in Lancashire accounted for just under half the print run of 8000 copies.

 

With its “eloquent editorial and worthy educational items” -a reflection of the Chartist predilections of its publisher and editor- the paper sometimes struggled to engage its target readership of pitmen. As an “unstamped” publication, however, The Miners' Advocate faced other difficulties. Stamp duty had first been imposed on newspapers in 1712 and was charged on each copy sold, adding significantly to the cover price. The Newspaper and Stamp Duties Act 1819 clarified that liability extended to any journal which either a) contained any "public news, intelligence or occurrences, or any remarks or observations thereon, or upon any matter in Church or State" or b) appeared more frequently than every 26 days. Moreover, each publisher was compelled to deposit £200 with the government as surety against the possibility of future conviction for seditious or blasphemous libel. Although the Association had voted at its conference in March 1844 to comply with these requirements, and did so again at another conference in July, the necessary steps were not taken in time to prevent the commencement of legal proceedings against Thomas Dodds as publisher. Publication was suspended after the 18th issue, and when The Miners' Advocate was relaunched in May 1845 it was as a monthly rather than a fortnightly journal.

 

On 20 February 1847 The Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury reported that “The Miner's Advocate... , which was discontinued in May last, has again been recommenced by Mr. Wm. Daniells, in a new and improved form. It is now printed and published in the Isle of Man - a change which is questionable, but which, we hope, may prove advantageous.” Several radical papers had by this time relocated to the Isle of Man, where they enjoyed not only freedom from stamp duty, paper duty and advertisement tax but also free postage to the UK mainland. “The Miners' Advocate and Manx Intellingencer” -as the paper was now called- was published by Robert Fargher in Douglas. A prospectus, dated 5 December 1846, said that it would be “an organ of instruction and communication for the miners of Great Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man, and its principal object will be to improve their condition, mentally, morally, and physically. It will develop more fully the capabilities of the Island as to its mining operations and will contain papers on geology, etc.” William Daniels continued as editor, and the proprietor was named as MAGB&I secretary William Grocott. Although the title had changed, the numbering of the Manx editions picked up where the second series of The Miner's Advocate, begun in May 1845, had left off.

 

In his “Bibliographical Account of Works Relating to the Isle of Man” (Manx Museum and Ancient Monuments Trustees, 1933), William Cubbon notes a reference to The Miners' Advocate and Manx Intelligencer having been printed on 21 April 1849. Fairly soon thereafter, however, it seems that the ending of the free postage concession and the jailing of much of the MAGB&I leadership -including William Grocott and James Leach- conspired to bring about its demise.

 

The above facsimile of the first issue was included in the republication of J B Smethurst's “Lancashire and the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland” (Eccles & District Historical Society, 1969). Despite the compliments paid to the draftsman and engraver of the masthead in the editorial, neither of them is named in the piece and I have been unable to discover their identities. The design was subsequently adapted for use by “The Lancashire Miner”, which enjoyed a brief run in the 1980s.

We entered the one shaft we saw that was safe. Carefully made it to the end. There were 2 rail cars inside, a bit of moisture, many test drill sites and a few tiny cave ins. It was an excellent adventure.
