I know it was a long time ago, so if a mans wage was £2 week and he had to feed and cloth a family of 6 presumably coal was cheap, but how cheap, can any body please help!!!

In 1925 best house coal was between 25 shillings and 30 shillings a ton at the pit head. If you are old like me and Cashy, you will know there are 20cwt in a ton.
