This is a film made by Doug and Norah Brear that shows the damage done to a house, their own, by subsidence caused by coal mining. Title - Chaseley Films Present Title - Counting the Cost The film begins with some opening remarks from Doug on the kinds of damage that can be done to buildings as a result of subsidence caused by coal mining.  A diagram shows how coal mining can lead to subsidence, undermining the foundations of buildings. Doug uses his own house to show examples of damage, with cracks down the brickwork, split joist, cracked plaster, and tilted floors.  It is stated that mining has to have been finished for two years before any repairs can be carried out, but then the authorities make every reasonable effort to make good the damage.
