This new and rapidly expanding blog provides very detailed background on a range of aspects of the Selby Coalfield https://selbycoalfield.home.blog/
Much of it is technical and perhaps o interest mainly to mining experience but the latest post is about how miners recruited from the closing pits in South Yorkshire had to choose whether to travel to Selby each day or whether to re-locate to the new houses built especially in the various villages where the prit heads were located.
