Obituary


Recommended Posts

Friday 24th of December brought the tragic loss by road accident,of one of our old members,who went by the name of "The Lone Ranger".

He was a very good old pit Marra,going back to my very first day underground at the Choppington B pit,[the "High Pit"].

Brian Besford was his name,and since we hadn't seen each other since Bates Pit closed,in 1986,it appeared that he couldn't remember me,when we posted comments in earlier topics such as the Mining pages.

My condolences and thoughts go out to his Family and close friends,he was a reet canny lad.

R.I.P. Brian Besford.

Bill.

With regard to my last post regarding the sad loss of Brian Besford,may I take this opportunity to correct the date of the accident.

It was on Friday , the  24th of November,and obviously this was a serious error on my part.

I sincerely apologise for any distress or confusion this may have caused to anyone,especially Brian's Family.

Bill.
