Support A Mining Tribute for Fauldhouse

This is a fantastic idea and something that should of been done years ago.. A lot of my family worked the mine at polkemet until its closure the whole area should have something not only as a way to remember the past but also a way to educate the children of today and for future generations to come

The towns history should be shown and not fogotten

Not enough in our museums about working class history - let's celebrate it.

A mining Tribute would be a fantastic way of creating a memorable and beautiful legacy to the miners and their families from Fauldhouse.

This is a fantastic project. It is hugely important to acknowledge the importance played by mining in the history of Fauldhouse and its impact on the lives of the people living here.

What a brilliant idea

Fauldhouse was the third largest community in West Lothian at one time.This was attributable to the no of pits which were around the village .Although the Piet were largely gone by the sixties the pit slags still remained .Evidence of the toil ,sweat and hardship that was endured by those who worked their seams.I am proud to say that I am a Timmins from Fauldhouse and my father,his father and his father before him left school at fourteen through poverty to put bread on the table.Not only should there be a plague or monument in the village but the Miners Welfare hall should also have some sort of memorial to those who toiled in the dark earth below.

All other villages in West Lothian seem to have a tribute, so Fauldhouse should be treated no differently and receive their own tribute! My Father and Grand Fathers on both sides were miners, so it would be a great tribute to all the miners of the village !

Keeping mining hestory is important for this area. My home town has a big mining history,too. I would like support!

The men and their familys deserve this for there hard work in poor conditions.

father and grandfather were miners . Tom CLOSE, australia, most of the neighbours were miners too.

This is a great way to remember all those that worked in the pit.

This should never be forgotten.

Miner's till the end!!

My grandad was a miner as other members of my family.

as an ex miner i totally agree

I now live in New Zealand but I am very proud of my childhood in Fauldhouse. We lived in Barton Terrace and I remember it as a close community. Very proud of the miners.

Celebrate what built the community

A tribute to those men who served in a dangerous occupation and with others made up the backbone of the Scottish Labour Party

Time to show we appreciate the efforts the miners in fauldhouse made !
