I worked at Huncoat from 1963 until it closed. I knew Jimmy Cregg very well. He was a true gentleman who sometimes did not like to play the part of big boss. I was very proud to have known and worked for him. He helped lots of young guys out at the pit. Some who had to get married very young. He made sure they could earn plenty of money. There are some photo,s in my album. I am sure you will find a photo of Jimmy Cregg there. Let me know will you. Mog.
