Next, I asked him to describe his job and his duties? He was a Coal Hewer at Herrington Colliery and worked with a machine called a pneumatic pick. Also I asked what kind of food did he eat? He mainly eat fry-ups and dinners.
Next I asked him what was the fashion in those days? He wore sports wear to suits.
I asked him how did you travel? He traveled by bus or bike.
Also I asked him where did he spend his holidays? He would save up to go to Blackpool for a week.
I next asked him to tell me a story? One Saturday he went out with 4 friends to a dance, one friend took a girl home and left the 3 others to find their own way home but he missed the bus so he had to walk home. His mam was very angry and got a key cut for him and he never missed the bus again.
