People have been paying tributes to Barry Hines, who died on Sunday at the age of 76. The Yorkshire author wrote the novel which Ken Loach’s film, ‘Kes’ was based on, and the BBC film, ‘Threads’ which focused on a nuclear strike in Sheffield. Barry, originally from the mining village of Hoyland Common was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2009. He left school with no qualifications, but then went on to be a teacher. James Whitworth is a news cartoonist, who’s work to commemorate Barry Hines has been shared on social media.
