I am writing to pass on information about the day to remember Warren James and the Foresters who took part in the struggle against the enclosures.

It is on sunday 6th June at Hopewell Colliery from 11am. In August 1831, 27 people signed a petition as to his honesty and we would especially like to invite members of families who put their name to the petition ..the original petition can be found in wikipaedia and county archives.
