I meant Brian is credited not if. It must be my Lincolnshire education

[neilox1962]

Brian Middlehurst if credited. Could that be the son of Tom and Elsie, if so a distant relation of mine. Interesting video.

You can see some of that blast furnace SLAG he mentions on westfield street on a saturday night ...and very nice she is too

That's just about the most classic St Helens accent I've heard

[stemarsh100]

Aye - Scroggins a veritable masterpiece charting the by gone times of what is that great post industrial s**t hole known as Tellins

As a lad I used to marvel at all the valves and steam and bifurcated sprocketts that could be seen festooned about the Varley site

Lookin forward to the sequel .....
