Today our COAL FACE exhibition opens at Washington 'F' Pit, here's a preview of what we've been working on... 1: A portrait of Jenny Wells, miner's daughter & miner's wife. 2: Excerpt from a verbatim poem by Dr Louise Powell, using words woven together from Jenny’s interview.

As a working-class writer who grew up thinking museums weren't for people like me, I still can't believe that my verbatim poetry is on display at F-Pit Museum with Andy Martin's portraits til 28 Sept for the #ACESupported COAL FACE Exhibition. Very grateful to tell these stories.

And there came light from the darkness…After over a year the Miners Hall sparks back into life. The electricity supply is back thanks to Heather Ward’s hard work. The construction and design team helped a bit too! A big thanks to everyone, onward to reopening next Spring.
