Wow, totally unrecognisable compared to how it looks today.

When the new shopping centre was built they erased a lot of history. Sure there were run down parts but to remove parts of the square was unforgiveable. And not a single long leatther coat in sight!

Considering the general uniformity of the public and military, the three ladies off to the left on the grass stand out...

It's a disgrace what they did to those buildings.

"Smiler" Rooneys cheering everyone up again.

I suppose this meant he had to know how to play pool. Was sheriff an elected position, and did it involve directing law enforcement?

A.Davey sheriffs are elected by their fellow councillors and nowadays the office is essentially ceremonial. In medieval times, though, it was a different story.

This is a serious question; Does anyone know where those hats can be bought? The type in the pic were a far superior design by being wider and thicker.

yes those are excellent hats, keeping rain off the neck and ears thanks to that extraordinary diameter. You can get a pretty broad harris tweed cap. In Oban.

If ya wann get a head, get a h.. ... or some spats. And whilst you're at it give all the wimmin a gas detector to carry.

My great-grandfather was one of the sinkers at this colliery his name was Richard Lathlane. Great historical photo thanks for listing it.

No lack of safety equipment here, should come out as clean as we went in.
