‘Shiners

 

Deep in the forest, a dull misty 1st of November greets the arrival of the empties at the colliery. There is not a great deal of activity at the mine these days, but it just about breaks even for now. 

The night shift is quiet in the winding house, so it’s currently being used by the local moonshiners to wield their boozy craft. The colliery management are rather dim, so haven’t realised that the huge tower still that’s been set up within for weeks isn’t actually part of the winding mechanism. And of course those who actually work the mine, are more than happy for the activity to take place, as they enjoy a share of the profits, whilst learning new skills which will be useful when the colliery finally closes. 

The ‘shiners must take more care with that fresh filled oak cask though, for clearance is a little tight with the railway being so close to the doors. Slowly does it.
