It looks very interesting, is there any chance you can post an MP3 of the
complete programme?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Felicity Evans asks how the valleys of south Wales near Caerphilly have
fared since the mines closed. She visits new parklands that have been
planted where the collieries once stood.
She begins at Senghenydd, site of two mining disasters just one hundred
years ago, one of them the worst ever experienced at a UK mine. Former
teacher in the village and now a broadcaster, Roy Noble reflects on the
legacy of the disaster, and how it's still remembered even though a primary
school has been built on the site of the mine, since the pit was closed
nearly 50 years ago.
Felicity also visits two other parks in the Caerphilly area which have been
created on the sites of former collieries: Parc Cwm Darran which was
planted in the 1980s, and Parc Penallta, which has been developed since the
Millennium. How do residents relate now to their local landscape, and the
memorials to the industry that once defined the region?
Producer: Mark Smalley.
