Mining in the East Midlands 1550-1947

First Published in 1971.This book is mainly about Nottinghamshire but not exclusively so as there is a great deal of similarity between the four wages districts (Nottinghamshire Derbyshire Leicestershire and South Derbyshire) which make up the East Midlands. For a detailed consideration of the history of mining Trade unionism in the locality reference should be made to a previous book 'The Miners of Nottinghamshire 1914 to 1944'. The present volume contains an abbreviated account only.
