Odd that you couldn't just use the original profile by just changing your password...
   Too bad you were not notified back then as sometimes when the site gets busy notification can be turned off...
It’s not odd really,I have a different email address also…..It won’t matter anyway,The post will have been missed now anyway after all these years
    Not sure if this was shared with everyone, but a lovely site...I think some illustrations were done by the website owner...  https://www.michaelkluckner.com/bciw2coalmont.html#blakeburn

   This song is about coal mining towns, where everything is owned by their employers. Blackburn was owned by the colliery  https://twitter.com/JeanyJerome/status/1442300925876441088

   Also this amazing & entertaining newer version of the same song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzlT80jQ3lo

Hi,sorry I’ve just noticed this,haven’t looked on here for years,if you see this please contact me!!  Thanks

I am heading back to Coalmont this weekend and came across this page again. Roberto it won't let me reply to your message, it says I can't send personal messages on here.  Would be neat to connect - my grandmother was Mathew's sister, her name was Mary Marshall. I will check this site more often to see if you reply!
