I always use this site if you don't mind second hand books :-

                      https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?bsi=90&sortby=17&tn=black%20diamonds&prevpage=5

           Be careful there are many books titled black Diamonds. You want :-

 
                       ' Black Diamonds: The Rise and Fall of an English Dynasty '

                      It's a good read. :D :D :D

Yes, no problem with used books. I think I have found the correct one and was just reading about the miners strike and their evictions very interesting. Will definitely obtain a copy. Thanks Tomkin!

Yes masymas we did get there (co-coinciding with a Doncaster Rovers home game who my husband still supports).  Yes a lot changed over the years and no the property no longer there.  We had our lunch in the local pub in Denaby and have since read about the place in the book 'Black Diamonds'.

Thanks for the maps stan, had forgotten you could do this with the nls.

Thats great, yes shame there is no old properties left. I will try and find that book you named. It would be interesting to read.

Thanks
Andy

My Grandfather was born at no. 69 Barmbrough street, its actually in Denaby just next door to Conisbrough. He was born in 1907. My mother was born in 1936 and the were residing there still then.  Did you ever get there for a visit, although the properties are long gone I believe.

This is my late father and mother-inlaw. The photo is a scan of a very small picture that it is an oval frame. You guys did some great work on a photo of my mother a few months back and did a fantastic job. I wonder if someone could maybe make this like a cameo picture with some detail around making it a rectangular. The actual image is almost perfect. Many thanks! Andy
