My wife and I made a quick visit to Ollerton. We drove down on Wednesday and returned home on Friday.
We had to aims. A photograph of the grave of my wife's Grandfather, who was killed down the mine at Ollerton Colliery in July 1934, and secondly to find any newspaper reference,
We got the photo and at Mansfield Library, we found an article in the Chad newspaper about the enquiry held a week later at Mansfield Hospital.
So, we achieved our aims.
We also had a visit to Rufford Abbey and Sherwood Forest.
Rufford Abbey was originally a Cicstercian Monastery before it was closed at the Reformation by HenryVIII.
Sherwood is of course the home of Robin Hood.
A few photos are addded here.
