Two Hours In Pit
Mr. Ian Harvey’s Visit To Denaby Main
Mr. Ian Harvey, prospective National Conservative candidate for the Don Valley, visited Denaby Main Colliery to-day.
Mr. Harvey, who was accompanied by the manager and agent, Mr. N. Hulley, and Mr. C. J. Pickett, under-manager, was underground for more than two hours in the north district of the Parkgate seam. He visited a conveyor face and a hand-got face, after walking one and a half miles along the haulage road. He was introduced to a number of the miners.
Mr. Harvey also inspected the surface arrangements, the lamp cabin, and the site of the new Denaby Colliery pit-head baths.
This is the fourth pit that Mr. Harvey has visited in the Don Valley and is spending the remainder of to-day and to-morrow with Mr. Durdy, of Stancil, near Tickhill, to discuss farming problems.
