Our colleague Clare Weston would like to share with colleagues about this free all-day event, held at the Arts Building on the University of Birmingham campus or online, exploring Britain’s coal industry legacy. Historians, community members, and creatives will share how they research, represent, and remember coal’s impact and the communities it shaped.
The day reflects on the fading physical reminders of coal mining and its environmental legacy, while examining themes of memory, commemoration, and storytelling.
