Video of Craghead Colliery Band, last remaining band in the Stanley area, at a memorial do a few year ago for the West Stanley Pit Disaster - the 2nd worst disaster in history of the Durham coal field (after Hartley). The song is 'Miners Hymn' which was written for the Gresford Disaster which was THE worst disaster in England. Great song, very emotive.

Aye Gresford is in Wales. Depends on your definition of England/Britain, probably should of just said "worst disaster in the UK" :thumbs:
