    "Very pleased to announce a new Heritage Photography Project centring around the abandoned generation of Miners in Barnsley.

    We’re in need of subjects, so if you know of anyone that was a Miner, or had anything to do with the Mining before the industry collapsed, please get in touch via the number on the poster or direct message on Facebook / Instagram / LinkedIn.

    We’d love to hear some of your stories and tek some portraits, prints of which will be provided to patrons free of charge.

    Help us remember the industries and people long forgotten about by some.

    Also please share the poster about!"
