Hi
My mum worked on the DMHC (Derbyshire Miners Holiday Camp) for some years as a chalet maid etc. I also worked there from the age of 6(!!) luggaging - i.e. collecting people’s luggage on my converted silver cross pram and taking it to their chalet. I worked on the campsite until I was about 14 as did many of my mum's friends and a few of mine. I'd be really interested if anyone had any images of the campsite. I'm sure I could dig a few out from friends.

I'd be happy to try and answer any queries on the DMHC if there are any. I have fond memories of that place as I grew up working and playing there.

Regards
Simon Dewey

Hi
Spotted your site and thought I’d just send you this photo to help your collection. DMHC c1954

I started work Coppice Woodside before being transferred to Denby Hall colliery Area 5 (1958-1967), I noted your collections, I have a couple of photos of Hartshay screens and headstocks but they are A4 size and would be too large to down load.

To be truthful I daren’t tell you how manyphotos I have.

Please don’t show e-mail address as I don’t want spam either and for all they say I don’t like it with or without HP sauce.

Best regards
Des Greenwood
