Birth Certificate Occupation
« on: Saturday 08 June 24 13:12 BST (UK) »
Hi, can anyone make out this occupation - I think it says 'Pil Bank'

The year before his occupation was Collier and the following year when his next child was born he was listed as a Steel Hardener.

Thanks, Luke

My guess would be "Pit Bank Tipper".
