You could try contacting the NUM (if they still exist!).
They should have records if he was a member.
Do you know what mine he worked in - there has been a lot of work done on such things and if you can narrow it down to one particular mine or even the area there is bound to be a local hsitory society or an individual who has done a history.

Same as you, grandfather was a miner in Easington. colliery. Unfortunately he was killed in the Easington pit disaster.
Easington Colliery have a very good historical site or you could try Durham Mining Museum.
Even if your grandad was not from that particular area they are both interesting sites to visit although a little sad when you read the names of all killed including young boys.
