Occupation on 1935 marriage certificate

Surely Arthur is a core-worker? Making and positioning core-boxes will have been a fairly skilled job. (Note his father is a foundryman so they might have been working at the same foundry.)

Here is a 1934 OS 25 inch map view of part of Bierley showing Langley Avenue in the bottom left corner and an Iron Foundry at the far right side. If you zoom out you will also see Yorkshire Galvanised Iron Works to the north of Langley Avenue.

You can tell by the street layout that Langley Avenue was fairly modern at that time. The area is undeveloped on the corresponding map from 1921. There are earlier newspaper mentions of a Langley Avenue in Bingley, but the first mention for Bierley is from 1936.

What is a core-worker?

"A core is a device used in casting and moulding processes to produce internal cavities and reentrant angles. The core is normally a disposable item that is destroyed to get it out of the piece. They are most commonly used in sand casting, but are also used in die casting and injection moulding. For example, cores define multiple passages inside cast engine blocks." - Wikipedia
(That was a better description than I would have managed.)The people constructing the cores for the moulds would probably have worked closely with the patternmakers who worked at each foundry.
