Where in the Victorian Times did they have mines which children worked in?
It was'nt unusual to find plenty of mines around Durham - there were no mines located in London as there was no space.

People had no money whatsoever and if the miners agreed to work they would have trouble getting there as other miners on strike would stand at the picket line and shout scum and throw eggs. But many didnt have a choice and had to suffer the trauma of fellow friends shouting unpleasent names at you.

Was there a miners' strike in Britain during World War 2?

Even if the other collieries in East Kent were also involved this was very different from a nationwide strike. There must have been other miners strikes.

My uncle was stationed in Lincolnshire, the date must have been late 43 or early 44
