Dr Howard G. Awbery joined the British coal mining industry as a
fresh faced eighteen year old and emerged thirty years later,
battered and bruised but worldlier for the richness of the
experience. In the captivating book, 'Me and My Lamp' he recounts
stories from those years. Stories of human kindness, national coal
strikes, personal injury, a ghostly warning and ecclectic family of
miners who made him laugh and cry. As one of the few colliers left
who once filled a 'stint' of coal using a shovel and set wooden
props to secure the roof, he draws the reader into an underground
world that those who never ventured shudder to imagine. However,
his world of coal was not a black world at all, for his mining
stories depict a bright, colourful world, full of excitement,
challenge and amazing people.
