More History Required

With been local I was told about the app some history but more required would make this really exciting and a easier title to remember so it can be searched easier and download easier

Should be one for all former mining areas!

Great app, I’ve a mind to do one myself for our major pit disaster site in Lancashire but haven’t a clue how, not as simple as web site design 😩

Excellent heritage walk.

Fascinating insight into the industrial history and archaeology of Scottish coal mining. Well written and organised , atmospheric photographs and lovely old maps. Warmly recommended , a good day out !
