Jim Dunsmuir, Coal miner at Barony Colliery, 24th February 1989

Jim Dunsmuir, Coal miner at Barony Colliery, 24th February 1989. It is his birthday today, but the Barony miner has nothing to celebrate. For yesterday, his workmates voted to close the last pit in Ayrshire, where he has spent his entire working career, 23years and 12 days exactly. The last 400 miners in the West of Scotland voted by 240 - 164 to end an era which at its peak saw 50, 000 miners work Ayrshires pits
