Beighton, near Sheffield ... During the war, I was working at Beighton Colliery (later called Brookhouse Colliery). I worked underground and had been there since I left school at age 15.

Beighton was a small village which only became part of Sheffield in 1967, having previously been in the county of Derbyshire.

Mark Hinchliff, head teacher at Brook House Junior School, in Beighton, says the report is testament to the hard work of staff and pupils over the last two years. Advertisement. Hide Ad.
