Perhaps One Of Them Was Sleeping In Your Bedroom 118 years ago?

Phillip Illingworth was originally from Rainton and was living at 16 Whitehouse Lane all those years ago. Meanwhile at 19 Whitehouse Lane Wilkinson Oxley was most probably sleeping like a lamb. Yorkshireman John Kirby probably had a quiet drink of something before  retiring to bed at 21 Whitehouse Lane.

Philip, Wilkinson, and John were not always sleepy; being workers at a local pit they no doubt worked very hard indeed.
