(Created through From the Ground Up a learning expedition by Year 7 students at XP School)
Featuring interviews with people across the former mining communities in Doncaster - from ex miners, to a ‘strike baby’ and a former pit nurse - this is a unique look at the landscape and lives that put coal at the heart of so many lives for so long.
This book became a local history bestseller in Doncaster, praised by both those who were part of the mining communities across the town and those to whom the story was new.
A great example of one of the earliest expeditions at XP School - powerful and impacting across the community.
