TonyRevitt Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I worked at Treeton on the screens in July 1952 while waiting for the NCB Training at Treeton in August 1952. I worked as a haulage hand under Reuben Pyatt, the Deputy was Jackson. I remember Brian Marvin who painted his miners helmet pink. Alfie who was mortally afraid of pit moggies. I left after I was forced to attend an inquisition at the pit on a Saturday unpaid and lost my Saturday shift. They found the guy who had hammered a nail into an electric cable near the face end of the level, I know he was sacked and taken to court in Rotherham. In those days I was not even offered the tram fare to attend or given any apology. I the went to Kiveton Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
