Ken Maclennan-Smith's 1971 Photographs and memories

[Gordon Brown]

Henniek
Tommy Slow worked in mining on tracklaying. Whenever the camelback conveyor on the screening plant discard dumps needed moving forward as the dump progressed Tommy would come out to do that. He also looked after the rail track used by the diesel powered trains to take screening plant concentrates to the HMS from the plant concentrate storage bins. Teriffic guy. Always there to help at any time of the day or night. We worked two 10 hour shifts in the late 60s early 70s. Remember his hands for some weird reason. He had fingers like bananas. I think eventually when the rail system of concentrate transport was replased by a road transport system, Tommy did indeed find himself in charge of the furniture store.
Kind regards
Gordon
