The Welsh Coal Trade to France by Brian Davies

To celebrate Big Pit’s 35th Anniversary and to deliver this year’s Annual Lecture, we are honoured to welcome back Brian Davies, Big Pit’s first Research Assistant and Education Officer. The lecture will look at what Welsh coal was used for and where it was exported. South Wales exported a larger proportion of its coal than any other British coalfield, and for three quarters of a century its main market was France. Miners’ wages went up or down depending on the selling price of coal at Cardiff
