Jim Slaughter's Narrative History:Polish Miners
"But very few. We had a lot of Polish workers came to pits. Beginning of the War, they fled from Poland and a lot of them
came into the mines because they were working in the mines in Poland. Good workers they were. I had three on my set
and, oh, damn good workers. And every one of them. Apart form working in the pit, they had another job. They had a
big smallholding, farms, garages. They were used to that in Poland, the wages was that poor in Poland that they did o
their work. So, they got that used to it that when they came here they were all doing it. Extra work. Pig farm, one
had. A pig farm up at Longhirst."
