Book excerpt: The flooding and subsequent closure of Scotland's last deep coal mine in 2002 brought a centuries long saga to an end. Villages and towns across the densely populated Central Belt owe their existence to coal mining's expansion during the nineteenth century and its maturation in the twentieth. Colliery closures and job losses were not just experienced in economic terms: they had profound implications for what it meant to be a worker, a Scot and a resident of an industrial settlement. Coal Country presents the first book-length account of deindustrialization in the Scottish coalfields. It draws on archival research using records from UK government, the nationalized coal industry and trade unions, as well as the words and memories of former miners, their wives and children that were collected in an extensive oral history project. Deindustrialization progressed as a slow but powerful march across the second half of the twentieth century. In this book, big changes in cultural identities are explained as the outcome of long-term economic developments. The oral testimonies bring to life transformations in gender relations and distinct generational workplaces experiences. This book argues that major alterations to the politics of class and nationhood have their origins in deindustrialization. The adverse effects of UK government policy, and centralization in the nationalized coal industry, encouraged miners and their trade union to voice their grievances in the language of Scottish national sovereignty. These efforts established a distinctive Scottish national coalfield community and laid the foundations for a devolved Scottish Parliament. Coal Country explains the deep roots of economic changes and their political reverberations, which continue to be felt as we debate another major change in energy sources during the 2020s.

Excerpt: ... near the River Forth, about 2 miles below Alloa Bridge. There appears to be a considerable area of coals in this district which may be profitably worked at some future time. The following abstract of a bore put down near Dunmore gives a fair idea of the coal-seams which may be met with: --The Denny and Bannockburn coal-field occupies an intermediate position between the coal-fields of Kilsyth and West Fife. The Carboniferous Limestone measures of West Fife disappear below the Millstone Grit, and after passing through a deep basin below the Coal-measures of Alloa and Grangemouth the Upper Limestone comes to the surface again about 3 miles west of Alloa. (See section on Plate XI.) The Lower Limestone comes to the surface near Stirling, and strikes southward to the large fault which brings down the Coal-measures at Dennyloanhead. The most of the Bannockburn area is held in lease by the Alloa Coal Company, and the coalseams are being worked from two shafts sunk in 1893-95. By the courtesy of Mr. Jas. Bain of the Alloa Coal Company I am enabled to give the following section of the coals intersected in these shafts: --Sect1on Of The Bannockburn Coal-f1eld The shafts are sunk at the outcrop of the Hirst Coal. The position of the Calmy Limestone is about 8 fathoms above the Hirst Coals, and about 80 fathoms above that again is the Castlecary Limestone. The strata dip towards the east at an inclination of about 1 in 7. The only two seams which have been worked to any extent are the Greenyard and the Bannockburn Main Coal. Both these seams are of exceptionally good quality, as is shown by the following analysis made by Mr. George R. Hislop, F.C.S., &c, Paisley. Analysis of Greenyard Coal Seam (known commercially as the Bannockburn Hartley Steam...

Book excerpt: No one personified the age of industry more than the miners. The Shadow of the Mine tells the story of King Coal in its heyday – and what happened to mining communities after the last pits closed. The Shadow of the Mine tells the story of King Coal in its heyday, the heroics and betrayals of the Miners’ Strike, and what happened to mining communities after the last pits closed. No one personified the age of industry more than the miners. Coal was central to the British economy, powering its factories and railways. It carried political weight, too. In the eighties the miners risked everything in a year-long strike against Thatcher’s shutdowns. Their defeat doomed a way of life. The lingering sense of abandonment in former mining communities would be difficult to overstate. Yet recent electoral politics has revolved around the coalfield constituencies in Labour’s Red Wall. Huw Beynon and Ray Hudson draw on decades of research to chronicle these momentous changes through the words of the people who lived through them. This edition includes a new postscript on why Thatcher’s war on the miners wasn’t good for green politics. ‘Excellent’ NEW STATESMAN ‘Brilliant’ TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT ‘Enlightening’ GUARDIAN
