Barrow Hill Roundhouse Discipline Book

This book represents a unique insight into the working life of Barrow Hill employees.  

 

The book itself is in a really poor condition and just touching it results in the pages crumbling away.  Although a  page has been reproduced here, the file size needed to publish all of the pages on the web is prohibitive.  However, if you have a particular interest we are happy to email you imges of the appropriate pages to assist your research.  Please follow the 'Get involved' link on the main Archive Pages tab and complete the submission form with your request.
