Mining

Three of my relations are shown as being coal miners, as they lived in the Gorbals area of Glasgow, to which mine/s would they be attached. Were there any coal mines near to Glasgow?

Hi Bart:

There is some previous discussion about coal mines/mining in Glasgow area:

Also, if you check Glasgow's Mitchell Digital Library, you'll find some information there http://gdl.cdlr.strath.ac.uk/

Hope this is of some help,
Frances
