GET INVOLVED

Like the collieries and surrounding villages of Kent, people are at the heart of our new museum. If you have a story to tell, or would like to get involved with volunteering, we would love to hear from you.

Memories

Story Of The Month

“As a 9yr old child back in 1984, it’s fair to say I didn’t have much understanding of what was going on between the NCB and unions. I do however remember a year spent having dinners at the Welfare Club and the sheer sense of togetherness that came out of the community. I distinctly remember the day that TVS came to film us eating and the Xmas party that year. Some things are etched on your soul. 1984 truly will be for so many reasons.”

SUBMIT YOUR MEMORies!

We’re off to a great start with building our memory collection but we need more stories, your stories, and we ’d really like you to get involved.

Did you live in one of Kent’ s coal mining communities? Do you have memories of miners in the local community? Are you from a mining family? Or perhaps you worked in the coal mining industry?

Please complete the memory form! We would love to hear from you.
