I am working on a book provisionally called 'the history of my Seacroft'. Tonight after only 20+ years the Foundry Mill chapter has been completed. I will be having a well earned Guinness later.
At this rate the whole book could be finished on my 200th birthday, I have attached the contents page for that chapter, ( which has decided to be at the top of the post) if anyone wants to see more please let me know.
