Bentley Colliery 1908 - 1958
This booklet, pictured above, was on my wish list for quite a while, then all at once, I not only received a set of scans from one contributor, but I was also sent an a real copy by another!
While it is lovely to have the actual booklet in my possession at last, the scans provide the cleaner copies, so here I am posting the scans as sent to my by Bridgette Perks.
