HUNDREDS of people gathered in Yorkshire’s Worsbrough at the weekend for the unveiling of a memorial paying tribute to industries that have now disappeared from the district.
The memorial comprises a dissected pit wheel, a miner, a glassblower and a plinth built from Staffordshire bricks used in the construction of railway bridges and viaducts.
