We are the family of Eric Bowes Davis & Ronald Billing Davis who have connections at Hodbarrow mines. Eric was my father in law; we visit Milllom quite a lot, we have strong connections of Millom and many pictures.

Peter Bowes Davis and Joyce Davis (Chester) look forward to hearing more tales regarding Millom please.
