Occupation

Neil Slater (his grandson) remembers being taken back to the mill to visit colleagues in the 1970s soon after Frank retired. Frank put Neil on a large wool bale weigh scale, which Neil remembers as being quite frightening at the time.

Shared note

Frank was a pattern weaver. He was a mender, in that he was able to check a woven cloth for errors or broken threads and then fix it before it left the mill

He served in the Army during WWII as a driver, at Hencliffe Hall, Sheffield. His daughter Doreen remembers walking across Riley Fields to meet him when he came home on leave.

He was a devoted angler and hunter, with permission to shoot over many local acres of local land. He regularly visited Hawes in North Yorkshire (often with his brother Harry, on his motorbike) to fish for trout.

Hazel Moore stated (24 Jan 2012) that she thought Frank suffered from Parkinson's Disease, causing his hands to shake at times.

Although "encouraged" to sell his 12G shotgun in his later years by his wife Frances (due to the ever increasing interest in it from his young grandson), his grandson went on to continue the interest in shooting sports anyway. The last words Frank said to his grandson (Neil) at Oaklands Residential Home were, "have you remembered your gun lad?"...

Shared note

(Medical):Hazel stated in phone call to Neil in Jan 2012 that she thought that Frank suffered from Parkinsons, causing the hand tremble.

Doreen stated on 7 Feb 2012 that the Army wanted to keep Frank in the service to do medical tests, but he refused.

Shared note

Lily Lodge moved in with Frances and Frank Moore on the day they returned from their honeymoon.  Lily was bedridden for an extended time and took a lot of looking after.  Frank had always promised that he would look after his mother.  This was quite a burden on Frances in the early years of their marriage.
