My grandmother was born in west cornforth in 1915, her father John Doran was killed in the 1st world war in 1916 , her mother was Rebecca ward, if anyone knows of them, would be very grateful to hear from you, as trying to find out much as I can about my nans family, they lived at 20 moor street

Can anyone remember the night the tar beds caught fire. I remember my parents waking me up and carrying me along to the bottom of the pit bank to watch. It was in the fifties as we lived in Moor Street until I was five.
