We are the family of Eric Bowes Davis & Ronald Bowes Davis who have connections at Hodbarrow mines. Eric was my father in law; we visit Milllom quite a lot, we have strong connections of Millom and many pictures. Mildred Davis, Ronnie's wife, is my husband's auntie but sadly she has now passed away. Love looking at the pictures. Peter Bowes Davis and Joyce Davis (Chester) look forward to hearing more tales regarding Millom please.
