Seventy-Two Years In Mine
Who holds the record for the longest period of service in the mines? This is claimed on behalf of Mr Daniel Mander of Pontypridd, who recently retired at the age of 81, after working underground for 72 years. Mr Mander started at the age of nine, and nearly lost a day’s work. At one period he worked for three years without losing a shift.
