Remember The Coal? A Folk Tribute at Elsecar Heritage Centre 

13th February 2025

Coal mining played a vital role in shaping industries and communities, and now, its history is being brought to life through music and storytelling. Elsecar Heritage Centre presents ‘Remember the Coal,’ on Friday 28th February at 7:00pm, a captivating folk performance that delves into the mining industry’s impact on society. 

The show features original songs written and performed in folk style by Alan Wood, with spoken narrative by John Snook. Audiences will experience a journey through the highs and lows of mining history – acknowledging the hardships and tragedies faced by mining communities.  

While the performance reflects the hardships of coal mining, it also illustrates the broader changes that took place in society during that period and the lasting influence mining had beyond the industry itself.
