50 Years, I can hardly believe it, I helped erect the very first column in no1 Potroom, worked for Dorman Long, best paid job I had to date but also the worst, wonderful for about six weeks until the heavy team moved in from the south, union meetings followed by strike action and intimidation of anybody that wanted to do a days work!
