I left Old Boston apprentice training centre in the summer of 1963, went to summersales, first assigned colliery as a wet behind the ears apprentice electrician. Jack Shaw was electrical engineer at the time, I can just about remember one or two electricians there, Alf Barnes was one and Eric Rosco.
Eric later worked at Reeds Paper.
It's one of the last places of its time that had pillar and stall working, never saw it ever again.
