Patriotic Alternative East Midlands
- Shirebrook Mining Memorial -

Almost every year since it was sunk in 1896, someone was killed at Shirebrook Colliery until its closure in 1993.

The sculpture depicts a man, toiling underground to support his family on the surface. These miners crawled through damp, narrow and low passageways in near darkness. Imagine the constant din of pickaxes striking rock and breathing in the heavy black dust that saturated your clothes and skin day-in day-out. At the rear of the statue, a plaque states the way in which those aged 14 to 71 were killed, mostly crushed in machinery or buried alive.

We are gaslighted into thinking diversity built Britain, but this is wrong. We were never asked nor have we ever wanted mass immigration.

In reality, these are the men and children whose livelihood was a dirty and dangerous job that kept homes warm and powered industry.

The British Built Britain. #wewereneverasked
