Samuel’s back was broken in three places following a roof “fall” while down the mine, but he went on to work in his own allotment(s) in old age, to grow vegetables for the family to help stretch his retirement pension. I am unable to give the date of his accident in the colliery, but believe it to have been post 1952.
Samuel was a religious man, thought well of in the local community. I remember being told, by my father, that as a young man he was a lay preacher in Bristol. (I still have his bible, annotated in the margins by his own hand).
