A survey of Britain's biggest coalfield - Yorkshire.

Show full synopsis

This celebratory survey of the Yorkshire coalfield is in Homeric mode with a catalogue of the four Yorkshire areas, their mines, factories, cities, a roll-call of collieries servicing power stations and their export ports, and all "at the service of the nation", the propaganda cry of a nationalised industry.

James Piers Taylor
