So proud of the Young Leaders who smashed the research event at the @NCMME. Shout out to @mikkmurray our Graffiti Artist who captured the lads' stories & @silverfox504 our former miner who led the coal workshops & supported each stage of the project ✊ instagram.com/p/DFQgdL1KYyk/…

Just a sample of the many letters we have received from the children of Wath Central school. I was a really pleasure talking with and listening to their own families mining history. Peace and clarity John & John.

I'm just thinking back to the first time I nervously walked up to a microphone in a small folk club in Soho, in 1965. And now walking onto the great Pyramid Stage of Glastonbury. What a journey. @glastonbury #PyramidStage #Peace

'How Maltby has changed over the years?' talk from local historian and former miner @silverfox504 was so well received by Year 4 today. Fascinating insight into our local area and great questions from the children too! #maltbyiswonderful @CragsSchool @ShawBrocklebank
