Accrington Pals /Last Miner plates and Clogs

was rummaging in the garage today looking for my earthquake survival kit (we've had 2 in the last 12 hours ) and came across these two plates , no memory of how I accquired them , think from the gift shop in Accy Town Hall after a liquid lunch around 1995/6 .

not sure if they are worth anything to anyone ,no idea what I paid for them , the 'Accrington Pals' plate is numbered # 48 and the 'Last Miner' plate is # 465, not looking to sell , don't have an Ebay/Paypal account so this is no 'pre-sale' advertisment, just wondering if there is any local interest and who else has seen them hanging on Granny's lobby wall

each is about 10 1/2 diameter with an 'E & J Mining Memories' stencil inprint

also a question about Clogs (also found a small model of a pair of lace-up Clogs) ..... seem to remember there were two types , 'lace up' and others with a 'cross strap' button fastening ... anyone know if one type were miners or mill workers use or regular wear and Sunday wear
thanks
hope the pics work
