Their loss shall never grow dim | To the people of Cowie
who in pursuance of their calling
lost their lives in the collieries.
Others also through injury and mining
were hastened to an early grave.
They served their pay unseen unsung
in the caverns of the deep
Till early laid
They through the ages sleep
Lest we forget A tribute to the people
who lost their lives in the collieries
And the women who shared their lives
And suffered their loss Project of Cowie Community Council And Cowie Miners Welfare Opened by Rt Hon. Tony Benn 9th September 2006 NB No names on this memorial |
