About this image

DescriptionNobby Williamson was a great friend of our family as were all the Wilkinsons. They were Geordie. Nobby had an eye blinded down the mine at Strongman and worked above ground after that. He drove trucks carrying bodies on the day of the explosion in Greens no 2. He made me a little coal sculpture.Map^[1]ContributorGaylene Preston

Many years ago I was sharing a house at coal creek with Bill Kells.
One night Brian Williamson dropped round. Bill promptly introduced me to him as I’d never met him before.
Shortly after he arrived the phone rang and some guy asked “yeah is Nobby ther… See more
