I worked at Kirkless from about 1963, first in the cutter shop and then in the conveyor shop. Alf Monks was in charge of the conveyor shop when I was there. I remember Albert Gray, the Marrow brothers, Oliver Such, Bobby Booth,and many others. Happy days. A few apprentices came from the loco works at Horwich when it shut down.
