Notes from South Yorkshire Mining Villages, by Melvyn Jones.
- Mines, or Collieries, have existed in southern England since people noticed coal and ironstone - sandstone with hematite nodules and/or a high percentage of hematite in it. There's an interesting record of a monastic grange, the Kirkstead Abby in Lincolnshire, petitioning an estate owner to mine ironstone on his land in 1161 and they proceeded to smelt iron and blacksmith nails for at least a century. - Mines were initially small-scale pit operations, operating for the local area with a crew of 5-6. The development of canals from 1780-1820 kicked off the boom of industrialization, especially in these small pit mines because coal could now be shipped by canal. This allowed more workers to produce more coal, etc.
- During this time we see people begin to be displaced by the industrialization of the loom. There was a family of weavers, noted via census, as moving south when the father and three sons could no longer find work.
- The development of railways and steam engines made canals more or less defunct from 1820-1850, and this is when mining villages began to kick off, due to increased demand from engines and coking coal for steel. Glassworks and coking factories often sprung up inside the town next to the colliery or along the rail lines. Often these towns were already placed - sometimes they still have Old English names referencing original medieval homeowners the towns sprung up around - but they also sprung from convenient areas next to the railway. English geology played nice by stretching from shallow to deep, West to East. So the coal seam was mined easiest to hardest, West to East. - English coal was most prominent from 1850-1930, nationalized 1947.
- Because most housing from 1750-1850 was new and they needed a lot of it, it was essentially block housing units, initially built by the enterprising Lord until around 1840 when companies built them. They weren't always nice, but they usually had gardens, three-five rooms (including kitchen and living area), and a water closet in the back. I also noticed all of them had a allotment garden on the side of the town. This persists until the last town was mentioned, in the far East, made around 1930. Then the map doesn't label allotment gardens. (Also, notably, these were nice houses for the time. Holy shit, they had running water and space for lodgers and additional family members. Like if you were offered a current-day suburbia mcmansion [that quickly disintegrated] in exchange for labor.)
- After 1840 it was usually the mining company that built the housing units and there was little to no control from the Lord who had originally owned the land. I think this was a transition from the mineral rights being turned over to a lease of the land itself, but I'm not sure.
- The housing was still pretty nice for the times; this seems to be a key way to lure people away from other mine sites to the newest one. Even sites that had been built in 1800 usually had some additions over the years to have running water, upgrades to heating, etc. The houses built in 1900 had running water, baths, and indoor toilets. Of course, this comes with the caveat of "if you strike, we kick you out of your homes" which immediately caused problems, all the way back to 1800. Which brings us to the unions:
- This book paints a picture of motion and that's what really clicked for me when we talk about unions. I always wondered why blackleg miners (English term for strike-breakers; the Americans coined 'scab') could be so callused- because ~stand together~ and all that. But these were all migrants. The comparison that came to mind was if you invited several thousand workers from Mexico to work in the same state and paid them pittance wages and they went on strike - which still happens today. It takes more than self-restraint when a crop ends and you're looking for the next job and someone is actively not working that job when people are still flowing in from Mexico, starving, and will take anything. Comparing how small Yorkshire is, how small each mine is, and how all these people are moving to a new town every twenty years as mine conditions changed, adds poignancy too.
