The next Aditnow Online Mining Talk is this Thursday, 3rd June at 20.30 on the Zoom Platform. The login will be released 24 hours beforehand.

Whitby... it's all Captain Cook, Whaling, Dracula, Goths and of course Jet.

Chris Twigg will be revealing many of the secrets of the Whitby Jet Industry from its Victorian heyday to more recent shady goings-on.

Does the stuff just drop out of the cliffs or is there another tale to tell?

Find out more on Thursday.


 
Having seen this one before, I can thoroughly recommend it. It's very interesting.

Chris.
