There is now an actual memorial stones and small gardens at the site of the Moorfield colliery on Burnley Rd just up from the traffic lights at Clayton, before you come to the bridge over the canal
Its quite poignant to read the names of them all, including generations within the same family, probably Father, son & grandson, some only 12/13 years old
If you ain't local, I walk around that area quite often and could easily photograph it and if you pm me wirh an email address I'll send em to you and/or if theres enough interest I'll try and upload them onto here
