Re: Pub in Clayton le Moors
sorry mez your dad must have left when I started at the coal board there was a nobby clarke who went from the wagons to driving diggers a much better paid job I use to give hima lift home sometimes on my matchless G9 500 twin motorbike he lived in church I would drop him off opposite the stag pub harry is proper name was very popular with all the other drivers and it was quite a shock when he collapsed and died leaving a fairly young family AnywayI will ask my brother as he started there long before I did
