A fine view of the row of cottages at South Loftus – complete with the obligatory posed urchins! Emily Millthorpe (nee Bunney) tells us: “I was born in one of these houses in 1948, my parents names were Kenneth and Florence. I have one brother (Keith)and one brother (Clive) who were born there. We then moved to Barnsley where my father worked in Grimethorpe pit. He worked in Skinningrove pit when we lived there, he worked with someone called Mr Gell who was in a fire and was scarred very badly all over and one younger brother also born there.”
