Hi, Tom, I&#039;m sorry for the long delay in answering your kind offer of sharing a copy of your undergraduate dissertation on the
Medomsley Colliery Strike of 1885 with us. We are very happy for you to share this and any other memories and photos with us.
If you want to be involved with our &quot;Bill Stockdale Leadgate and District Historial Society&quot;, just drop me an email at martinboyle137@gmail.com.
Let me know where you are living now. You can also give me a bell on 07803048522, whichever you prefer.
Kindest regards,
Martin Boyle.]]></description>
