Bill Batterham was my uncle & he worked until retirement at Brammahs Aircraft factory in Halfway. He was an inspector. Bill was involved in the Apollo Spacecraft project as he inspected manufactured components for the launch rockets. He started his working life at Booth & Fisher & was apprenticed to Donald Fisher who developed the prototype Wankel Engine. T
My Auntie Ida Mallender & Uncle Sid lived on Sheffield Road Killamarsh opposite the telephone box. My sister Jill & I were always invited to John & David’s birthday parties.
Sid was on-setter at Kiveton Pit. Auntie spent her final years in the care home on Bridge Street. She was a warm generous person who would give me support & always make me welcome. Auntie Ida worked with my Mum at the chapel tea room before she fell ill.
