Meet the Bower family who left Brierley in 1959
My name is Brian Bower and with my family, lived at The Laburnums
Barnsley Road until 1959. I then left and eventually came into the
Doncaster area where I worked at the Doncaster Royal Infirmary as an
electrician until retirement in 2000.
My
dad was a deputy at Carlton Main colliery; mum was a housewife and we
all did some work on the smallholding. (The Laburnums). Bernard was my
brother and worked at the same place as my dad until he emigrated to
Australia in 1951 (sadly he is no longer with us) Blanch is my sister,
she trained as a nurse at the Doncaster Royal Infirmary. She worked
there for quite few years, then became a district nurse and worked as
this until she retired. She now lives in the Doncaster area.
Unfortunately I have not been able to locate a photo of myself yet but
will keep trying. I have another brother called Frank, he is in
Australia and as been there since 1953 I am trying to locate a photo of
him too.
