THE best Saturday shift of the year so far was recorded by the North West Coal Board.
Attendance was 18,994 out of 65 pits, with Burnley having 11 pits open and 1,122 men working.
The work to clean up after the floods continued with men trying to fasten a line to a huge tree washed up against a bridge in Whalley.
