Black Diamonds by Catherine Bailey
Wentworth is in Yorkshire and was surrounded by seventy collieries employing tens of thousands of men. It is England's forgotten palace and belonged to Britain's richest aristocrats. This book tells the story of its demise: family feuds, forbidden love, class war, and a tragic and violent death played their part.
Catherine Bailey read History at Oxford University. She is a successful, award-winning television producer and director, making a range of critically acclaimed documentary films inspired by her interest in twentieth-century history. This is her first book. She lives in West London.
