A Coal mine Dad?? Coal Mining?? Pitwork??

Welcome to Bill Riley's web site. Don't forget to look at the Edward Medal Award stories. Heroes every one; so were many others who did not receive an award. I hope you enjoy your visit and come back often. Thanks go to everyone who has contributed in any way. A special thanks go to a few people who have gone beyond the normal contribution. Roy Lambeth, Daz Beattie, Dave Edwards, David Barlow, Alan Dean, David Durward, Joe Stocks, Terry McKinney, Stuart Tomlins, and Glenn Flemming (sadly passed away all too soon, he will be missed by family and friends). Many, many, thanks. Thanks also go to Kevin Birch for helping me to present this web site at a cost I can afford. Many thanks to Beryl Wade for sequencing the "Water of Tyne". Click here to hear it.
