Buy the badge and help fund the Miners’ Memorial Sculpture at Allerton Bywater


Buy the badge and help fund the Miners’ Memorial Sculpture at Allerton Bywater

A memorial sculpture dedicated to the 80 miners who were killed, and hundreds of others who died from work-related diseases, whilst  extracting coal at Allerton Bywater Colliery in West Yorkshire will be unveiled on September 8th this year.  

Some of the money for the memorial has been raised through sale of an exquisite red and gold enamel badge in the shape of a miniature miners’ lamp bearing the words “Allerton Bywater Colliery Miners’ Memorial.”

They still have 700 badges, available by sending cheques for £5 and 70p postage made out to The Allerton Bywater Colliery Memorial Fund, to 7, Woodside Grove, Allerton Bywater, West Yorkshire, WF10 2HG.
