Documenting the Blenkinsopp Mine and Miners
Joel Porter


Joel has been documenting the Blenkinsopp mine and miners before it closes.

Below you will find some of the photographs but to see more, including other mines, go to:-

http://www.staff.ucsm.ac.uk/jporter

He has also been trying to get some interest locally to exhibit the portraits, or even publish. He has had some interest recently from a small public gallery in Lancaster that is interested in around 6 of pictures.

He is continuing to pursue the documentation of coal mines in general when he can.
