Fantastic!

Thanks very much I visited the grave yesterday. My father will now be able to 'see' him for the first time, as he never ever met him due to the war.

Yes there was an Altofts colliery near Normanton, I believe it was originally Pope and Pearsons colliery. It's past my bedtime here in Oz but I shall return to this thread tommorow if I get a chance, there is sure to be more info on it.

You seem to know a lot about this mine.

My Grandfather John Scott was killed in this mine on 25th July 1947. He was caught in a disk of a coal cutting machine. I am trying to find out anything about him at the time of his death or anyone who might of known him.
I am still unfortunately still looking for his place of rest.
