They put netting over the rocks now to help spread the plant life so I doubt if his name will ever be seen. I used to be the "can lad" when they had the huts by Sherlock Lane bridge. Cooking the dinners etc and running to the shops. I used to make a few bob doing that. We were all covered in mud, I used to get the job of scrapping the mud of the workers boot as they would weigh a ton with so much mud on them. Ahh, the good old days. Riding in Jcb`s and walking on the tracks of those big cranes. Last edited by ZipperClub; 23rd Aug 2014 6:11pm.
