PlashMill Press is proud to announce the publication of A Boy's Own Mining Adventure, by Brian Page.

This is a hilatious prequel to Brian's highly successful A Boy's Own Offshore Adventure, published last year.

The new book tells the story of Brian's years working in the Lancashire coalfeld, at Bold Colliery.

He said "It was a tough life and often dangerous, but it had its lighter side-- there were some great characters and many funny moments.

He added, "Everyone thinks working in the North Sea Oil industry is tough, and it is; but after the mines the North Sea was like a breath of fresh air--a very strong breath of fresh air."

Meet Shotfirers, Overmen, Deputies and all the rest of the cast of men who toiled to bring King Coal up from the depths of the earth.

A Boy's Own Mining Adventure is funny, witty and touching but also is a thought-provoking insight into the real lives of the miners.
