   Headstocks

    After noon , we visited Brinsley that used to be a major mining town. The only remainder of this heritage are the headstocks. They are not only of significance for the area but are also the only headstocks left of this kind.
     
   Headstock is a structure atop a coal mine, used to sink and lift miners and loads.      

    You can feel the suffering of the miners, from just looking at the picture. There is iron box in the machine that raise workers and sink them  underground, where breathing is difficult for them not to mention the risks involved .




****************************

    At midnight their was a goodbye assembly at a restaurant  for Mrs Cripwell Debuty Head Teacher ..... their was a lot of nice idea , they distributed  pens like the following pictures among all

     They also sang  " I will survive " song , but of course they changed  the lyric ,to fit the situation -and they do that a lot -
 i will quote some nice phrases :
     
          " Go on now go , walk out the door 
             you'll turn around now 
             because you'll be back for more
             weren't you the one who tried to help us get supply
             you didn't crumble !
             You didn't lay dawn and cry !
             Oh how will we , will we survive ?  "

     Also as a nice idea , as i said she is retiring , therefore they made a phrases from each letter in "Retirement " word , for example as i remember , R for Rest , T for time to say good bye , E for energy , M for memories ............., they was actually a long nice phrase , but that's what i just remember :(
