Publisher's Synopsis

Coal mining, a prominent industry once situated at the heart of communities across the East Midlands, has now completely ceased in the UK. Although there is some attempt to keep hold of the artefacts which tell us about mining, mining language remains neglected. Natalie Braber's research has shown there is a variety of 'pit talk' which is distinctive to the East Midlands. This book explains the distinct language used by miners in their day-to-day lives.
