Hi Lindy Hope it wasn't too painful or expensive! I don't think its collier/corporal but collier corporal (the line between the two occurs down the page). Maybe this is like a head collier (definition for collier in my answer above)

thanks honey bunny and maureen for that have you any ideas about the collier/corporal? have to go to the dentist now but will be back later thanks love linda x

Lindy I thought it said Trolly Driver - again, something to do with the moving of coal down the pits. Those sort of train things they used to push about. Maureen

Lindy, to me it looks like Pony Driver - Under Ground - to do with helping the miners with pit ponies perhaps? A collier is a coal mine worker or coal barge worker so this would fit. Not sure about the corporal bit - was he ever in the forces?
