I would be grateful if you could contact me with any useful ideas or suggestions. Kind regardsNicola Ward (nee Walshaw) |
Hi My Gr,Gr,Grandfather Richard Whitehead worked all his life at the pit, starting at 11yrs old (mid 1850's) right up to his death 64yrs!! later, still working as "Labourer at coal mine, 74yrs old"(census) at Bradford, His Father, John & 4 Brother's all worked at Bradford pit:-
All William's son's spent all their life working between Bradford & Radcliffe pit's:-
Thomas's son's also at Bradford pit:-
My Gr,Gr,Grandfather Richard's 4 son's followed in the tradition:-
Walter, my Gr,Grandfather was killed in the mine 7 Feb 1910, he was thrown from a wagon. Sadly his wife, my Gr,Gran spent most of her life as a widow, my Granddad was only 4 at the time. These are not the only Whitehead's to serve at Bradford Colliery, there are many more (poss. 20+); unfortunately too many to list. So as you can Imagine, with a total of 549+ years sevice between them (many killed at Bradford) I am longing for a memorial of some sort at the site, to remember those men and women who, just simply lived-to-toil at the Pit.

Hi I am trying to find some information on Peter Lloyd who worked there around 1950 1960. He was originally from Wrexham. Family trying to contact his children. Julie Whittle |
I recently discovered that my great grandfather was the pit manager of Bradford Colliery from 1896. Do you have any information on him or any pictures please? James Pitt |
Dear Sir, Fred Lloyd Ward is my great-grandfather - I am trying to trace my family tree, and was so excited to see him mentioned on your site. Do you have any information at all you can give me? Especially any photographs? and also information on George Frederick Ward his son (my grandfather). If you can help at all, I would be deeply grateful. I have been searching for many years... I also notice that someone called James Pitt has asked about Fred, he must be a cousin of mine! I would be really grateful if you could pass on his contact details. Thank you so much. Very best,

Hi I was at work the day the engine house caught fire, and was involved along with many others in trying to restore contact with the surface and the bottom of the pit. Thank You |
