Mike Burns. Les Tuffley Photo Collection (Photo Gallery)

In the Les Tuffley Photo Collection there is a picture of Mike Burns with the caption Mr. Mike Burns at the Baptist Chapel Cinderford for the Wedding of his grandson Tony Burns. Living for many years on Plump Hill, Mitcheldean, he was a retired coalminer and in his younger days a Morris Dancer."

Does anyone have any more information on his (or anyone else's) local Morris Dancing details?

I am particularly interested being a member of the current Forest of Dean Morris Men. A number of years ago one of the members of the FoDMM was approached by someone who said that there were a number of old photos of local Morris dancers but, unfortunately he was unable to pick them up. Anyone know of these?

Thanks
