"I still like to visit Cudworth and the area. I was last up about a month ago," said Sir Michael Parkinson.
Parkinson, who was in Sheffield this week promoting his autobiography Parky, told The Star about what it was like growing up in Barnsley.
"You can't even recognise Grimtehorpe, since the pit's gone. It was a nasty job but such a special place. Think of the great music. There was so much cultural participation," he said.
"It's traumatic in a sense for the landscape to disappear in front of you. But coal mining was a nasty job," sir Parkinson continued.
