    My grandfather worked there for almost half a century up to 1997/8 and sadly passed away last year after a battle with Mesothelioma, which we think was caused by him working with asbestos at the foundry. He was an avid photographer and member of the Barnsley Photographic Society, and my grandmother and I have been going through his photographs recently. There are some stunning shots of the foundry, as well as Wombwell Main Pit and a few other local industrial sites. Would be nice to talk to anyone who may have worked with him =)
