fond memories - Hi, or shouldI say G/day from Melbourne /Aust. I worked at the pit from 1952 to my leaving for Australia in 1961, I was a colliery Bricklayer as was my brother Ted[Eddie] Hoban. Steve Regan was our foreman, Iworked with Reg Carr,Dennis, and Dave Carr andLes Gair. Iwas born at 14 Byron St then we moved into 10Stockton St next to the pit.
