Looming crisis in the coalfields of Yorkshire as miners in the few remaining pits will find out this week how many of their jobs will be lost after RJB Mining hold a board meeting tomorrow (Mon) to discuss closures. Pit Villages like Stainforth near Doncaster will become even more desolate if the few remaining jobs are lost. Hatfield Colliery pictured today (Sun) used to employ over 2, 000 miners and now has fewer than one hundred. See PA story INDUSTRY Coal. Photo John Giles.PA.
