It's not everybody who has a coal mine in their backyard, but not everybody had one like Fred's. In the last years of his life, building a fully working replica mine complete with a 100 foot mineshaft, fully working pit head gear and an inclined plane railway became one of Fred's great passions. Here Fred tells us about his plans in full, about his reasons for creating the mine and about his battles with the planners and we see the most comprehensive footage in existance of the work on the mine.
