My old clock/check number was 1066 at brookhouse that was an easy one to remember!

My Dad worked at orgreave his name was Billy Hannan, I remember going with him on Fridays to collect his wages, it seemed to be miles down the pit lane to the office, but they always gave me a little wage packet as well with pennies in it, then we went to the canteen for a glass of milk and a kit kat.

 

i remember going with my dad to collect his wages too.The pit lane seemed to go on for ever.we also went to the canteen and the women who worked there used to give me a choc bar..using my husbands name cos not registered

I remember 3 people who I think worked at Orgreave

 

George Winspear - in the 1940's/1950's, may have been part of ther management - lived between Swallownest and Aughton

George Percival - in the 1950's may have worked on the pit top as some sort of a labourer. Lived on Park Hill, between Swallownest and Fence. Was invloved a lot with Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Club

Kenneth Brooks, my uncle, in 1940's/1950's before he became a bus driver. Lived on Ballifield Estate

 

Maybe someone will remember these guys
