Re: Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis
That's what killed my grandad as he was a coal miner in Polkemmet Colliery, Scotland (now demolished). I still really miss him  |

Re: Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis
It was a terribly common disease in the North West & the North East of England when the Coal Mines where still running. Good old Maggie T put the nail in the last of them though leaving 10's of thousands of men sick and the families in poverty, whole towns on the dole...sad times in deed. |
