[edit] Summary

A MONUMENT signifying a village's contribution to Lancashire's coal mining industry was unveiled and dedicated. On Sunday, March 19 the Rector of Golborne the Rev Robert Williams officiated at a service in Kidglove Road at what was the entrance to Golborne Colliery beside the inscribed memorial stone. The service was attended by ex-miners and their families are invited to the event which is the fruition of two years of fund-raising to erect the six feet by three feet stone which was commissioned in memory of men and women who died and worked at Golborne Colliery which opened in 1880 and closed in 1989. The memorial was the idea of Golborne Ex-MIners Association who staged a series of concerts to help towards the cost of the stone. Also funding was received from a community chest grant from Wigan Council, Alpla (UK) Ltd of Golborne and The Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation.
