My main branch is from Oldham. My grandfather was called Frederick Norris. Hi Christine I will send the photo seperately. The wring under the pictur said:- Fred Norris, age 36, Cleworth Hall Cooliery oiler and greaser and Olympic 10,000 metres athlete,recieves a framed colour print of himself from workmaes in 1959. He was the first Britain to cover more than 12 miles in one hour, a record only Heino and Zatopeck could equal. One of Britains finest long distance runners, his achievments are far too numerous to mention here. Regards Jacqui
