Through documents, the Wigan area can trace its coal mining activities as far back as 650 years, and for a brief spell in the late 19th century Wigan itself was proudly known as 'Coalopolis'. This book provides an insight into the lives and working conditions of Wigan area miners, and offers a testament to the region and its coal mining legacy.
