born and raised in cas #COYF

My grandfather, Edward Fellows, was born and raised in Castleford. He started working in the coal mine in 1902 - driving donkeys in an out of the mine from the age of 11. Planning a trip in 2019 and looking for a place to search for records of his existence.

Any other Beedles out there?

My great-grandfather, James Bell, ran the Bridge Street Hotel in 1881. Is it still there? My grandfather was his son,Simpson Bell. Any relatives out there?

My father bought a grocer\'s shop in Cas in 1970 but it coincided with decimilisation , the \'three day week and the first miner\'s strike. Unfortunately he had to sell up after a year.
