Derek Shaw on the right before going underground, having a last cigarette in the stores, taken at 7.30am sometime in 1980s. Maybe someone can name the rest of the men.

I am fairly sure the guy in the foreground is Ronnie Harrison, chock man over on the north side. I agree the chap on the back wall on the right is Ronnie Dobson

Paul Burnett is the guy on the left a methane borer who used to work with Danny Aldred until Danny did his face training.
