Maltby Miners Memorial
The Maltby Mine was a coal mine in South Yorkshire, England. It started in 1910 and continued in operation until 2013, when it was closed due to dangerous geological conditions (oil, water and gas seeping into the mine).
Over the years, 167 men died in the mine, 27 of them in a gas explosion on a single day in 1927. In 2014, the remaining miners wanted to construct a memorial to those who died. They raised money for the memorial in the time-honored English way: they posed for and sold a naked calendar that came out in 2015.
January. Like all of these English nude calendars, frontal views are concealed, but one of these guys didn't quite hide everything.
February. These are clearly real miners, not models.

December, (un)dressed for the holidays.
We end with a miner's end, possibly the back cover.

I could go in the shower with Mr August anytime to scrub scrub him all over. Mr. September could join us to save water...
For some reason, when I shower with a friend, it generally uses quite a bit more water }:-)
I just love it!!
