I have recently obtained a large collection of black and white photographs showing people and underground scenes from Parsonage Colliery. Which I will be putting on the site over the next few months. This one shows miners with their N.C.B. Certificates Can anyone say what they were for and name any of the people I don't know the date but could be anything from 1960's-1980's.
The photographs were issued by the PUBLIC RELATIONS DEPT. N.C.B. Anderton House Lowton

Third from the left, wearing glasses, is my dad, Wilf Jones. Previously, from about 1950 to 1970, he'd worked at Astley Green, where he became a deputy.
I'd estimate the year of this picture to be around 1980-82. I think he retired in 1982, when he was 56, so this may have been then.
