Re: Huncoat Colliery
Hello everyone,
My name is Mike Costello and I'm a new joiner. My dad worked at one of the mines in the area possibly just after the war and, as he and mum lived at Woodside Road, I am presuming it was the Huncoat Colliery. The only clue I have though is that my mum once told me that dad worked at the 'Happy Valley' mine. Whether that is a real place or a nickname I'm not sure. Dad was irish and called Paul Costello.
If you've heard of the mine, or my father, then any help on this would be really appreciated
Thanks
Mike
