I was born in 1934 and raised in Windlestone. I completed an Engineering apprentice with the National Coal Board specialising in underground training and have a Deputies Cert. From there I worked at a number of collieries in South West Durham including Randolph (Evenwood), Brussleton and Chilton. I was then employed by Young Group Plc as Group Engineer at collieries in the North East and Midlands including Middridge New Drift.
I am author of "History of Chilton, Windlestone and Rushyford" (limited number still available).
Hobbies: Mining History and previous family involvement in the mines of South West Durham throughout the 20th Century. I enjoy gardening, spending time with my family and holidays.
