Slab Fork, West Virginia

Yes, the Slab Fork, West Virginia. This is a former coal town and yes, home to singer Bill Withers. In its day, Slab Fork was a giant coal town. Multiple trestles, schools, churches and a company store. On the way to Slab Fork, I saw a few signs on the road and I thought, I gotta put these in this post.

YES, I know Coal City and the sign below are NOT in Slab Fork. The signs are powerful reminders about why we have coal towns. Miners worked and lived there. This is a DRAFT page and I will be making changes to it. Clicking on an image will show you its original size. Feel free to comment PLEASE. IF you wish to have a copy of a print, feel free to contact me and we can discuss a fee.
