  Never had any family links to the pits but feel we lost something when they went.
  
  It really is a long shot to get the pits up and running again - as has been pointed out the old Kent seams must be no-go zones so the only solution would surely be to drive brand new ones.
  
  I understand there are untapped reserves west of Dover, but under beautiful countryside...and as Chris says, coal is very un-green, so underground gasification is the only way Kent coal might ever be revived, I would think.
