hello,
I was born in workington in 1949 and lived in distington on ennerdale view. I used to work @ H 10 in 1965 but joined the forces in 1966 and never returned to live in distington both parents and sister passed away a number of years ago so no reason for me to visit.I remember the pit manager was called Mr Oliver and lived near the church,his wife now runs the house as a b&b as i stayed there on a motorcycling trip 4 years ago, i now live 8 miles west of stonehenge,i recently have started to write a book on my life in and around the lake district and stories of H10 came flooding back,worked on the screens for a time then down at pit bottom as a scootcher,the as a stone duster and finally as a builders labourer with rennie hodson who came from wrath browHes still alive so im told.Regards Dave
