In my time at The Netherton Colliery School, two lads lost their father in an accident.
Anyone know more, it was about 1953/4
My memory is about the community pulling together to help the family.
Truly inspirational, in every sense.
In life you try to make a difference.
You help and do not ask for reward.
The reward is to lead a useful life.
I'm searching for photos for my dad (David Halliday) and I believe this might be the same man, he died in an accident around this time down the pit, he taught my dad to play the trombone, any info would be greatly received.
