PART-TIME FIREMAN

ADDED 3 SEPTEMBER 2005

My Dad, Willie Brocklehurst, used to work for Gregg's Glassworks and was also a part-time fireman in Knottingley both at the old station and then in the new one. I remember vividly watching the Kings Mills burning and hoping Dad would come home okay. At the time, we lived at 12 Forge Hill Lane and my bedroom had a good view of the fire. Does anyone remember my Dad or my mum who regularly made dinner on Sunday for the duty firemen at the new station? My Dad died on the 14th July 1990 and my mum still lives in Knottingley.

Does anyone have any photographs of the old library in Knottingley or information and photographs on the fire station?
