Welcome to the virtual home of an English Tradesman.

I am a  qualified Moulder and Coremaker. I started my apprenticeship in 1967 and passed my indentures in 1972. I went to Pudsey college of further education for 4 years from 1967 to 1971, prior to that I went to Farfield Junior School and Buttershaw comprehensive.

I served my Apprenticeship at Crofts Engineers, Thornbury, Bradford.

Recently I have transferred the website to ipage.com/hosting in America, lets hope it was a good move for 2011.

I have updated the site on the24th September 2011.  I have been doing this website for ten years and it has kept me from cracking up. Now I am going to concentrate on writing a graphic book about my life in Buttershaw and Wibsey, then I will crack up...

This is the Horse I backed in the Grand National last year, as you can see it is still running.
