The BBC opens the archive and shows the last Radstock pit closure
By Susie Watkins 20th Jul 2022
The BBC has opened up its news archive to everyone and it has released a news report on the last mine of the Somerset mines to close, that in Radstock.
The piece aired on Friday, 28 September 1973 and is a piece of moving history.
The reporter was a young John Craven, who interviewed one of the miners on the last shift at Writhlington and how he felt about not going underground any more - and how much he would miss the comradeship at the coal face.
