"It was a good life": Memories and Landscape in the Mining Communities of East Ayrshire
Free Online Talk
Thursday 21st March - 5:00pm
In this talk, Dr Yvonne McFadden will explore the role of place in remembering the miner’s rows in East Ayrshire. Little now remains of the row villages throughout Ayrshire but they live on in the memories of the villagers and their families. We will look at coalfield maps and through the stories of the villagers and their descendants we will reconstruct the lives of the women, men and children who called these rows their home.
The event is FREE but registration is required. Book online at www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/memories-and-landscape-in-the-mining-communities-of-east-ayrshire-tickets-...
