March 3, 201313 yr Hi Barchetta,welcome to the site.Funny you should say about meeting someone there by co-incidence,i posted my photos of Bates pit in Blyth,[now closed],a few years ago,on the Flickr website,guess what?...i got a comment from a lad in Perth,Australia,who emigrated there after Bates shut in 1986,and it was a lad i worked with underground at Bates!We keep in contact by e-mail now,it's a small world........But....,even better than that,i only joined this site a few weeks ago,and the first time i logged in, i got into contact with my lifelong schoolfriend and neighbour-playmate,who i haven't seen for over 45 years since she and her husband went to Canada to live!!!Talk about fate bringing people together?....not as good as the power of the internet!!Cheers!
