We Are Tomorrow’s Past

Yawning above the red shale yard is the drift entrance to the mine. It is the place Jess least wants to enter, but the one place he must. To have any hope of keeping his family’s farm, he must convince Rockhyde to give him a job in the mines.

Against all his expectations, in the underground world of the mine, Jess is shocked to encounter nothing but loyalty, kindness and a comradery to make every danger worth the risk.

This is a heartwarming story of friendship and perseverance that offers an intimate glimpse into 1950s rural England and the realities of working in the mining industry. It is a tribute to every man who has ever worked underground.
