We played at the tops of mineshafts in West Virginia and at union meetings in New York. |
Gone are the disused mineshafts, spoil heaps and rusting machinery and in their place are smart new offices and homes, shops and leisure facilities. |
When my father would come home from a long day in the mineshafts, he was always drenched from head to toe in that foul paste. |
In yesterday's note, I forgot to mention that we also explored some abandoned mineshafts and prisons. |
As part of the work, deep mineshafts and an underground canal system will be made safe. |
It took three hours of climbing to reach the top where a sign warned of mineshafts. |
