It had first created phenomenal economic growth and later chronic unemployment which amongst the miners rose as high as 60 per cent. With the help of WINNIE CAMPBELL of Cleator Moor, NORMAN NICHOLSON , the Millom poet, the miners themselves and the songs Of MIKE LYDDYARD , the end of an industrial era is marked.
