Hello from another Yorkshireman.
Hello, I have just found this forum by accident and am enjoying it and have already posted a few replies and started one thread of my own.
I was born in Halifax in 1938 and lived in Walsden nr Todmorden from being 8 days old. I went to the local school and then Tod Grammar before becoming an engineer in the factories, including steam engines, for a while I was the engineer for Ducketts Pipe works Burnley and eventually arrived in Accrington (via a marriage) sometime in the late 60's. After a few jobs I started working for Gilbraith Tankers and lasted 30 years. Other jobs included Coach driving for WC Standerwick, a short spell for Ribble, Then Batty Holt Tours. I retired in 1988 and am not doing much nowadays but still enjoy a few pints and a look on the Laptop, I enjoy reading but only non fiction. I still hanker to get back to Walsden but my wife is born and bred Accy lass, we met in the big Crown. Hope that's enough of me. Gremlin. R.T. |
