He died in 1957 at the age of 32 and she is gathering any info she can for his son who was 3 when his dad died. His mam has sadly passed too, so can't get any info from her. is there a list of men who worked there that she could research?

Has everyone seen this?

This candid, observational Tyne Tees TV news feature powerfully communicates the raw experience of a pitmans shift at Dawdon Colliery in 1967 the heat, dirt, cramped tunnels and deafening noise of coal-cutting machines and conveyors. Without commentary, this film recalls a vanished era of courage and camaraderie for the miners working in hellish conditions two miles out and 1,000 feet below the North Sea, off the Durham coastline.

Grit, grime and graft fathoms beneath the North Sea for coal miners at Dawdon Colliery.
