Any ex treeton colliery colleagues

[zepstox]

My mate Glynn Rockley lived in Treeton and used to work down Treeton. He broke 3 vertebrae in his back at Thurcroft and was put on light duties in the office at Treeton bored out of his mind just before it closed. He's now living in Langworth in Lincs, driving a tarmac machine last I heard. I was at British Steel at the time and put a welding rod through the fridge trying to defrost it so had to find another and Glynn said I could have theirs from the canteen as it was going down the shaft anyway when it closed. It was painted blue. I don't know how old that fridge was but I was made redundant last July and the old Treeton pit canteen fridge was still working in the cooling beds office at Aldwarke Finishing Banks the day I left, 20 years after I cadged it. Who says fridges only last 6 years.

I worked at Treeton for a while they used to call me "The Sheffield Puff" because I had what they considered a posh accent coming from Gleadless Valley
