Standing seven feet tall and crafted from metal, the statue depicts a miner with a pickaxe and is placed in Dame Emily Park, near the old pit entrance. Spearheaded by the Bedminster Coalminers Heritage Group, the memorial aims to revive awareness of the area’s forgotten mining past, where thousands once labored. Just days before its unveiling, the statue was vandalized with graffiti — forcing volunteers to clean it themselves. Now, beside a skate park, it bears a plaque listing the names of the fallen, including William Garland, whose great, great, great granddaughter, Tina Huckle-Mills, officially unveiled it. This poignant tribute ensures the legacy of these miners and their community’s history endures. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
