My dad Jim Mitchell. Worked with pat Hines on adwick council. Pat had
a brother called terry he built the bungalow. You are right that they are wonderful people pat would let my dad have a gallon petrol till Friday lol as a child I had happy hours at skellow dyke catching tadpole . Pam Mitchell.
I was born 6th January 1956 in the living room, in those days at No4 Lodge Road, Skellow. The midwife arrived on her bike from Woodlands, in the end my mother's mother delivered me weighing 9lbs 8 ozs, I was born on a Friday. We lived in a pit house as my dad worked on the pit top in the lamp cabin. He used to go to work every day on his bike, I used to wave to him when I saw him coming home and we all could hear the pit buzzer from Bullcroft Colliery!
Cannot remember that much of Skellow school, but i do remember going on a weeks trip to Ingelborough hall in class 8 that would have been Mrs Lee's class. I was around maybe 9/10 yrs old then & with it being my first time away from home without my mam & dadIi was terribly homesick. The Headmaster at that time was a Mr Senior who reminded me of the vicar out of dads army. The scene today from the pic hasnt changed that much either. Being so long ago, thats about all I remember.
