For the September meeting we will be joined by Dr. Ron Fitzgerald for the talk 'Surveys of Early Coal Mining at Middleton and Garforth'.
The talk will discuss the results of survey work carried out on the
annular spoil heaps within the eastern half of Middleton Woods and recording of early mining evidence on the Hawk's Nest pencast site, Garforth. Using this evidence some comments will be made on technological change in mining in the early modern period.
All welcome, no charge but please bring a donation towards refreshments if you can. Thanks!
