NARRATIVE

 My chosen object is my grandads safety tie that was presented to him while he was a working electrician in the mines and pits. This was presented to him for putting in place a new phone system that allowed miners to be able to communicate throughout the different areas of the mines in an easier manner. This tie is important to to my family and shows a key moment in time in our background. It also relates largely to the area of which I live in. Dinnington it a place built off of a miners community and mining has a big influence on the area and is something of which the place has been known for. Dinnington was a miners town, and my home is on a street full of original miners homes of which the working miners would live. The miners background is a large part of who I am as it is known in the area of which I have grown and was a place a a large amount of my family members worked along side my grandad.
