Hello,
I was browsing your excellent site and was really surprised to see a photograph (which featured in Coal News if I recall) in which I figure.
There are a lot of familiar names and faces in the photo including me – standing back right in front of wheel, my cousin Chris Cash next to me squatting, my cousin Nigel Rollinson – 2nd from left front and my good friend David Leversidge whom I was best man for – front 2nd from right.
This was a picture for celebrating C 15s record breaking week (or month?) – a retreat face that we helped by doing 10 to 12 strips on each night shift.
I wonder if you might have a copy of the original photograph that I might have, as sadly I have no records of my mining days (1979 -2004) as photographs.
Thanks
Jerry |
