Allan Fulcher sent these photographs to me and it came originally from Beth Armstrong. The first one shows her Great Grandfather Joseph Carey. He was a local councillor and a county councillor as well as Justice of the Peace. He sat on numerous committees being very concerned about the welfare of the poor and was a Methodist Lay Preacher. Joseph lived at 4 Dunelm Road, Thornley when he died in 1936 at the age of 64. He was buried at Wheatley Hill on 23rd June 1936.

This photograph shows Joseph with Arthur Scargill's Grandfather and another man.

Mr and Mrs Joseph Carey.
