Th pub’s landlady Lorraine Horrocks said: “Did you work at either Newstead or Annesley Colliery? Then this event is especially for you. It will be a chance to get together and reminisce with old friends and workmates.

“We want former miners to come and visit the pub and see our mining memorabillia and photos. We also want people to bring along their own photos and memories too.

“Please spread the word and lets make this an evening to remember.”
