The fall of Sackup Lane
School
Yet another of our schools bites the dust,
it's
gone the same way as my old infants school Racecommon Road Infants.
Pictures above are from
the launch of the book "The Last Check" Which is a collection
of personal memories from the Mapplewell, Darton
and Staincross communities on the history of local mining. The book
launch was on Tuesday 26th November at the Village Hall Mapplewell.
"The Last Check" is available from the Darton Ward Library and
Information Centre. Tel:- 01226-382309 Price £5.
The object in the picture, far right, is a canary cage for gas testing complete
with oxygen cylinder for recovery of the bird.
