I didnt work at Howard & Bullough because I left school and went down the pit. Huncoat. My Dad worked there from 1954 till about 1970 ish I remember when we were kids and my dads mate got burnt to death at work. Cant think of his name. Also remember when my dad had half of his hand chopped off about 1959. This was one of the reasons he gave me for going down the pit as H&B was a dangerous place to work in. We lived in Crown street at the time.
