Dear Tony and Mike Many thanks for taking the time to share your beautiful memories of the Lofthouse disaster with us. I cannot believe that an actual mine was 300ft below our school. Ben Dear Tony and Mike Your visit gave me more knowledge about mining and some fascinating information, I am still wondering how you put your lifesaver on so fast. Lois Dear Tony and Mike I particularly enjoyed being Jesse and putting on the miners clothes. When you told us all what happened on the day of the disaster it was very exciting.

Kieran Dear Tony and Mike Thank you for taking the time to tell us about the Lofthouse disaster. I learned a lot about mining. The miners must have been really strong to lift those tools. I thought the breathing mask was funny, but i am sure it would hurt your nose. Luke Dear Tony and Mike I found all your mining equipment very interesting your visit has given me a lot more information. I thought the snap tin was hard to open, but i did get in eventually Elisha Dear Tony and Mike I could write a whole story about what you told us, but i wont The miners lamps have been kept in good condition, what was the little one for, was it for the ponies or Little Mike? It was the best day at school yet and the funniest as well, I know lots about it now. Ashleigh Dear Tony and Mike Many thanks for telling us about the Lofthouse disaster, it would be good if you could have stopped a bit longer to tell us more about it. When you asked for volunteers i put my hand straight up. It was a wonderful experience having you telling us about it.
