Marias address in Scrogg Rd in Walker is still a main thoroughfare. To add to the tale, I worked on drilling rig with and Electrician from Clipstone Colliery, Notts, which must have been close to the location of Clipstone Camp where 2nd Lt. Thomas Lamb was accidentally killed in June 1916. Artillery accident maybe?

Lt Lamb was killed during hand grenade practice:

I spent multiple summers down there as a kid, Uncle David (Arthur Goode's brother) lived there - cannot recall what colliery he worked in. They lived Clipstone/ Forest Town, and Worksop.
NCB were very active in getting miners to move into that area in 1960s - lots of north east men ended up down there at that time... ey-up-duck! (not sure if they still say that down there but it was the standard greeting in the 70s)
