You will hear more interviews from these tapes later in the series.

Geoff was the first chair of the museum and was responsible along with a small group of volunteers for the first National Lottery Heritage Funding in South Yorkshire. The interview is a longer version which featured in Memories of Maurice


Our next episode will be released in time for International Women's Day in March
