Esh Coal Mining
A Memory of Esh.
My grandfather, Walter Smith, came up from Bressingham, Norfolk to get work in 1861. He worked at Esh Colliery and lived in what they call the 'tile sheds'. His son Robert Smith was born at Esh in 1862. We have been to Esh, a very nice place with lots of history, churches, schools and you can go to Langley Park via the 'silly steps', good area for walking. Mr Derick Smith.
