buyowt Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Anyone remember my Grandad, Fred Lindley? Worked at Orgreave for 47 years until 1981. Initially a coal miner and then I thnk in the pay office? yes I remember Fred, really nice bloke. I started there as apprentice electrician in 1968 aged 15 and left in 1979. because of my baby face, my nickname was Sweetpea (from Popeye's baby) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
