This may be of interest to lismaps subscribers. The meeting , hosted by Dave Anderson MP is about an Early Day Motion seeking to have the sites of defunct coal mines recorded on Ordnance Survey maps. Further details can be obtained from pinthepits at gmail.com  <mailto:pinthepits at gmail.com >
Anyone attending should contact Rachel Horne and allow plenty of time to get through security at the House of Commons.

PIN THE PITS



 Tuesday 21st October 7:00pm - 9:00pm



Boothroyd Room, Portcullis House



THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT





Bridge St, Westminster



London, United Kingdom





It's the re-launch of the EDM to get the Pits Pinned.

It's about marking the fruits of men, children and women's labour. The injuries. The chronic illnesses. The culture. The history. The communities. The decimation. The demolition. The rejuvenation. The regeneration.

.... The inheritance if rupture. This will also be explored as several young people will be discussing how the shift from blue collar industries to white collar services has affected them.

There will also be other guest speakers discussing the campaign.

There will be three short films by Rachel Horne (aka the Foundaing Father). The films:

Man as Machine
Archive footage revealing the working conditions of coal mining during the 1930s, sound by sonic artist Ryan Jordan, the piece brings polarised worlds together, referencing our cultural shift from industrial to a technological society.

The Out of Darkness Light Project
Documents a memorial event in 2006 organised by Rachel Horne marking the 20th anniversary of the closure of Cadeby Colliery.

Mine the Notion
Documenting the exhibition and talk that took place at the Foundry in 2006, featuring trade unionist Dave Douglass and poet Dennis Monhangan.
