PITMAN'S POETRY
By Alan Geoffrey Sheard

(The Miner)
 

FEATURING:

Strike
Cold miners kids
Snap Tin

and many others


ADULTS ONLY
£3

Both PITMAN'S POETRY and MINERS TALES are a collection of poems by a former Barnsley miner and rescue man. Some are funny, others poignant, all though, provoking.

If you are a miner or indeed a former miner, I am sure that you will find "The Miners" accounts of working underground interesting and entertaining. I must stress that these poems are for adult reading only. If you are offended by so called pit language, DO NOT BUY
