One of our local pits Silverwood spawned a song. This was the pit where the pickets built a snowman to which the police took offense. A hearty officer in a Range Rover drove into it to knock it down. To the delight of the miners (and some less tactful minor police officers) the hapless officer discovered the hard way that the snowman had been built around a concrete bollard! For the rest of the winter you could hear ;
'The miners built an snowman and the p'liceman knocked it down' sung to the tune of John Brown's body. I have been unable, despite living locally, to discover the full set of words.
