Re: Accrington's 'Little Italy?'
Quite a few Italians worked on the afternoon shift in the development tunnels at Huncoat Pit,very helpfull if you required a lift moving machinery underground.I remember just one name which was Adam.
When they got off the Huncoat bus Bottom of Little Blackburn Rd they were all dressed to kill and away they went around the pubs, this would be 9.00 in the evening and you could not tell they had just done 7 hours in the pit.
Very good workers earning top money,always looking after there boss.
