New Sharlston

New Sharlston, ex mining village built solely for the purpose of housing hard working miners. Since the mine closed in 1995 theres has been only one job opportunity in New Sharlston. A village of 200 people with one person employed as a taxi driver. The children of the old miners are now adults who have never worked, they spend their days routing for coal in the old pit stakes, stealing alloy wheels, burning tyres, walking lurchers and drinking cider. The place reakes of rubber and shit. They all claim benefits due to the lack of employment in the village. All are related, recognised by orange hair. It's not a pleasant place, I don't recommend visiting on Mondays as strangers are often roasted on bbqs. I recommend visiting on Tuesday if you have to, when they get benefits get paid you are less likely to be eaten.
