Greenhow Local History Group
Based on the success of their book 'Life on the Hill' the
Greenhow Local History Club are looking to
republish an important 1920s text on the Greenhow area, which
captures the local oral history and mining traditions from that
time.
The text 'T'ill an' T'Oade Uns Upuv Greenho', by Harold
John Lexow Bruff, 1920, (published by York: TAJ Waddington.
'Yorkshire News' Office, Mansfield St), is an Account of the
Traditions, Life and Work of The Old Lead Miners of Greenhow Hill
in Yorkshire.
Unfortunately copyright on texts extends until 70 years after the
author's death, and the group have been unable to locate his family
to ask for permission. The group would be very grateful if anyone
with information would contact Malcolm Street at greenhow302@aol.com
or on 07923 441523.
