This photograph was taken one Saturday afternoon in January 1967 when Taylor’s Mill caught fire. The blaze was so fierce that smoke could be seen for miles around.

I remember seeing the smoke from Scholes and running to see where the fire was. I never got there, I was only 8 and my legs were tired!!!
