A play for radio by Syd Jones
Produced by Bertram Parnaby in the BBC's North of England studios (The recorded broadcast of March 14. 1957. in the North of England Home Service)
The play takes its title from a disused mine in Lancashire and the scene is set in a mining village. Sam-an ex-miner, Rugby League ' fan,' and happy philosopher-lives with his daughter and son-in-law, Joe. A Polish refugee who works in the pit alongside Joe comes to lodge with the family, and domestic complications develop-humorous and pathetic.
