Hiya! You will know that anything to do with Colliery is mining. Have a look at this page - don't forget to remove the brackets first!http://www(.)genuki(.)org(.)uk/big/eng/LAN/Haydock/MINEGLOS(.)txt Well, anything municipal you will know is to do with the local authority. If you google "chainman" you will see he is some sort of surveyors assistant. Hope this helps! Maz. XX |
