During this first episode we hear about Geoff growing up in Sowerby Bridge in the 1940s & 50s and some of the work he did in his earlier years.
Sowerby Bridge is a working town based in Calderdale, West Yorkshire which had many working mills, markets, a bustling town centre and streets of terraced houses.
Geoff talks about his time as a young boy at home, ill with Pneumonia and his experience of starting school much later than other children.
Geoff shares his love of learning but how he also had to adapt to his circumstances and environment - clear from a young age that Geoff was not going to be held back.
The image shows the street where Geoff was born, this was Chapel Street in the heart of Sowerby Bridge. This street no longer exists as these houses were pulled down to make room for the tower blocks that now reside about St Pauls church.
