I was a miner and lived at Downall Green but started of at Parkside until I found out there was no coaches going to the pit .Bus to Ashton then another to Newton then a long walk to the pit .Soon transfered to Golborne. Mrs M and Linma I should imagine both Grand parents worked within about 5 miles of were they lived (Normal walking distance then) but over the years there where between 2000 and 4000 mines around the area .
