I remember 3 people who I think worked at Orgreave

 

George Winspear - in the 1940's/1950's, may have been part of ther management - lived between Swallownest and Aughton

George Percival - in the 1950's may have worked on the pit top as some sort of a labourer. Lived on Park Hill, between Swallownest and Fence. Was invloved a lot with Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Club

Kenneth Brooks, my uncle, in 1940's/1950's before he became a bus driver. Lived on Ballifield Estate

 

Maybe someone will remember these guys

If you worked with "snowy" then I probably know you too. Do you remember Albert the motor mechanic? He's my dad.
