Ex-miners are reunited 34 years after the closure of Parsonage Colliery in Leigh
There was plenty to catch up on as men who worked together in the mines more than three decades ago attended a reunion.
The 34th Parsonage Colliery reunion was held at the Berkeley pub in Wigan and allowed the former pit workers to reminisce.
The event is usually held around March 26 – the date the colliery closed in 1992 – but was delayed this year as ex-miner Russell Noohan was travelling from Australia.
More than 1,000 people worked at the Leigh colliery in its heyday.
