Ian McMillan explores the marginal and forgotten coalfields of England.

Across Britain, most pits closed long ago and memories are fading whilst away from the major coalfields many people don't even remember that coal was recently mined in Somerset, Kent, Shropshire, Cumbria and The Forest of Dean.

Ian starts out at Madley in Shropshire.

With Jack and May Smart and Shelagh Lewis.

Producer: Tim Dee
