Hello Fionn, I just thought I would let you know about Kirkby and District Conservation Society Heritage Centre in Kirkby-in-Ashfield. I am the secretary of K.D.C.S. The Centre is voluntary run and we have lots of photographs and information about Kirkby and surrounding area, photos, maps etc. collieries, railways. It might be useful for anyone on your site from this area.
Best Wishes
Chris Kidger

Dear Fionn

My father was head Lampman at Summit in the 50s and early 60s his name was Bernard Booth, if anyone knew of him I would be glad of any anecdotes etc. Sadly Dad died a number of years ago along with mum - he did rise to become chair of Ashfield district council. I am particularly interested in his time at Summit - when he started what he did. I have memories of feeding pit ponies - collecting Christmas sweets from the social club etc.

Kind regards

Ian Booth

Looking for information on Horace Homer who worked at Summit Colliery 1950 / 1970.

Any record of him please.

My name's Colin and I must congratulate you on such a brilliant site, my main interest is the Summit Pit and was wondering if there are any other photo's around for example any taken from Lowmoor Rd area or looking down from the folly (nags-head) or know where I can get such pics from.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thank you and keep up the good work...

Hi
My dad worked in the mines, he was a mechanical engineer at Kirkby Summit until it closed. He was a petty officer in the navy before he worked in the mines. We lived in David street in Kirkby.

My dads name was Les Mann, and he died in 1982. We used to keep hens and I can remember helping my dad to pluck them ready to give to the Kirkby welfare as a contribution towards the oaps Christmas do.

Regards

Jeannie Peet nee Mann
