He might have been there with my son.

Will ask him about April.

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.
