Thornley Miners’ Lodge Greenwood Homes Banner and some of the Greenwood Cottages, demolished in 2009, which Inspired the Design

I took the photograph above and that on the following page in Thornley Welfare Hall on one of the rare occasions when the banner was temporarily removed from its display case. The photograph left is of the last Greenwood Cottage to be occupied, which by chance was also the one with the H Tunney foundation stone. It was demolished shortly thereafter. Note the similarity of the banner artwork to the actual cottage--they’re almost identical.
