    @HIGH PIT WILMA - I stumbled on a Facebook group - Friends of Bates Colliery. I joined the group to see what the members were saying and what images they were posting. The group Admin guy is Eddie Appleby. Did you know a painting of the colliery has been added into a 48ft mural on Union Street :-

    Agree with the legalization but not the taxing. In my mind that just gives the illegal traders of cannabis the opportunity to undercut the legal price and crate a black market. Legalization should be contrasted with decriminalisation, which removes criminal charges from an action, but leaves intact associated laws and regulations. But it wouldn't really matter what happened, legalization or cannabis on prescription, someone would still find an illegal market for it

    Welcome @Emma Cuthbert - can't recall any photos or info on East Hartford having been posted on the site. Entered "East Hartford" into the 'Search Box' - top right of the screen and the few comments that were returned only reference East Hartford - no info. I think the only old photo from east Hartford that I have seen is the one on the Durham Mining Museum site showing a small bit of the village with the colliery behind. Link to the Hartford Colliery page is :- http://www.dmm.org.uk/colliery/h017.htm
