Mining Chapel Denaby Main

“As the sun rose silhouetting Conisbrough Castle, on a cold clear December Morning in 1987, the arm of a crane swung the last symbol of mining at Cadeby Colliery on to a low-loader, for transfer to its present position in the new Miner’s Chapel. The massive wheel which brought up the final Cadeby coal for Eggborough Power Station is now there to work in a different way. It will impress upon future generations the severity of their forbears worked and lived; and along with other items which are incorporated within the Chapel buildings, serve as a reminder of the dangers still facing those upon whose courage we depend for our coal. The wheel is one way to light the life.”
