Discover the traces of Merseyside's industrial past with a new walking app, partly made by former miners determined the past should not be forgotten. The app currently contains 21 walks, most in Scotland, such as the Brucefield Colliery at Clackmannan, Newtongrange (home of the National Mining Museum Scotland), and no fewer than three Alloa Waggonway walks. Jim plans to add guided walks to Sutton Manors neighbouring collieries at Bold and Clock Face and to add more nature notes to all the walks.
