The first thing that came to mind while I was walking around the museum was my
Grandad. I saw a picture of a group of miners it reminded me of a picture I had of him,
when he was a miner. He worked at Dawdon pit. He worked at the Pit for about 20
years. Before working at the pit my grandad worked as a RAF engineer, fixing all the
damaged planes. After working there for about 4 years my grandad married my Nana
and at the age of 31 he became a dad for the first time. This new baby was my mam.
Over the years my grandad’s family began to grow and grow my Mam Tina, My Uncle
James and my Auntie Joy.
31 years after that I was born. My grandad now has 5 granchildren me , my big brother
Alex, my little brother Ben, and my cousins, Emily and Jessica.
In the picture of grandad and his mate Kenny, he's just come up from the pit. He's all
dirty but he seems happy with Kenny. I wouldn’t like to do his old job.
In the picture of my grandad and his mates from the RAF, It is my grandad’s car they
are leaning on. He's easily reconised because he's the only one without a jacket on.
In the picture of my grandad with his mates from the RAF he looks very smart and
looks happy and jolly. You can recognise him because he's the only one with glasses.
Grandad used to take me on long walks with Heidi the dog when I was little, and I used
to draw lots of pictures at his house. Me and my grandad have lots of fun together.
