A Voice Recording
This recording was created to tell the story told by the twenty five bronze plaques that are a part of the National Miners’ Memorial (NMM), located at the National Memorial Arboretum (NMA) in Alrewas, Staffordshire. The plaques tell the story of the men, women and children who worked in the UK coal mining industry over hundreds of years and the work many miners undertook as tunnellers during the First World War.
It will be available to visitors to the NMM via a QR code that is at the site.
The story was written by CHAPS committee member Len Prince and is told by former miners and CHAPS committee members Len Prince and Alex Smith; a member of the Royal Engineers; Brian Elliott, Historian; CHAPS President Mike Mellor and Ian Dudson CBE, K St J, the Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire. The commentary is accompanied by images of the plaques
This recording will ensure that the message conveyed by the NMM will be preserved for future generations. It will also add to the education and understanding of visitors to the NMM.
