    I’ve always loved that old film, especially the cheerful upbeat narration. The other major Irthlingborough mine film is “Hotel International”, a 1958 colour film showing the former hostel adjacent to the A6 (still there, just north of the new Aldi store), as well as a tour of the mines, about the Italian immigrant workers who made up a major part of the work force at that time. Then there’s the May 1953 safety fire film that was also filmed there, both films being on RUclips and Alan Packs Facebook site!
    Can’t wait till tomorrow’s video!

    Purple I missed you at Attley court today . I'm assistant manager there and said to David I want to speak with you . There is a forum coming up for Wellingborough resilience and it would benefit you as it's a source of networking. I have so many plans to hopefully work with you purple . Gemma.
