Our kid tells me he used to be up to his thighs many time with water when I was ready for leaving highfield sec mod in 1962 just before that my dad ( THOMAS WINSTANLEY ) Arranged for me one Sunday to walk down with the fireman as he was doing checks or something ,bloody hell when we got near bottom he switched my lights out god how black it was I have never been anywhere since that was that dark. So twas time to come up I know I was supposed to be fit but again bloody nora I was knackered half way up so after some discussion with my dad I decided to go into a butchers shop for my first job ,never been down since! again if any of you knew or know WILF OR MY LATE DAD TOMMY WINSTANLEY WOULD LOVE TO HEARFROM YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
