Hi Fionn,

My name is Malcolm Roebuck, I was a Safety Officer at Sherwood Colliery and have a collection of photographs taken when the colliery won the National Underground Safety Standards Competition in 1988. I also have a few others that perhaps you can make use of.

• Sherwood
• Calverton
• Rufford
  

All the best

Malcolm
