Three Men on a Bench

Mr. Bennison, John Dowey and Mr. Manning Robert Russell sitting on the bench outside the Institute at Boulby ’Tin City’. John Russell tells us: ”The gentleman sitting at the right hand end of the bench is my great grandfather Manning Robert Russell (1852 – 1936). He originated from Brigstock in Northamptonshire and after a few years working in the Durham collieries worked as a under-manager at a Boulby Ironstone Mine from 1908 – 1927. Any further information or memories would be very welcome.”
