Kent mining and my family
Heritage Open Day: A coffee-time illustrated talk about the mining heritage of Kent by Colin Varrall, a well known and popular local historian whose family has been involved in many trades in Deal, in particular mining. Colin will talk about the establishment of the Kent Coalfield and his family’s involvement. His great grandfather travelled from Derbyshire to Kent in 1933 to find work at Betteshanger Colliery and the tradition in that occupation continued with three of his children and through to Colin's father.
