Malcolm Newton
One or two people have been in touch asking about his health, I
sorry to inform Mailbase he that he passed away on 12 November 1999, his funeral
was held on 27 November. He leaves behind his wife Sheila, Sons Russell and
Andrew and daughter Lindsey
He was well known for his superb drawings of Mine Buildings which
were published in various books and have featured regularly in Descent. He also
built amazing replica models of Engines House, the largest of which will be
placed in the Former Miners Dry at Snailbeach which will become a heritage
interpretation building.
A much full obituary will be featured in Below (the SCMC quarterly
journal and Descent magazine)
He will be missed Will you please pass the news on to your
clubs.
Thanks
