Geocache Description:

South Kirkby is a former mining town which is still very proud of its mining heritage.
Terrain is flat with easy parking, no walking needed.

Strikes lean sinewed at the tooth end of a day,
Quid Spent hewing after the brown-spit
Mines Dead:
This resurrection, tin and copper born,
Earth’s legacy, remembering,
Stood black coated in the drizzle,
Silver band, usual marquee,
Coal’s generation lost,
Save for these unfurled banners and this song,
Our bitter memory.
Right the perhaps, that he should kneel,
Poised on his epitaph, this man of bronze,
Beneath the church reclaiming this waste land,
Closed in his seam of time defiantly,
When we are gone, a watching sentinel,
Who taps the load of all this heritage,
Collected days of sacrifice,
Dark shifts undone:
And right that we should gatherhere to honour him,
Made more of us for our remembrance,
Made air and daylight, the eternal sun,

By Paul Thwaites
