The book was a Christmas present. Its local history for me, as I've lived in the South Yorkshire coalfiield area all my life & I know all the places well. I'm sure it would have made the national press - plus Tolkien had connections with Leeds from his time at the University there, so he may have been told about it by friends - don't know if anyone he knew would have been there....
