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.

Forgot to mention my dads name. David Stevenson. Also my grandad Arthur Stevenson and grandma Leena Stevenson also worked there for a while. I also think one of my relations was an outfitter for the company. in the 40s. He used to travel all over the world with them. Spent some time in Russia, I think.
