June Hancock

Placeholder for June Hancock blue plaque

June Hancock. As a childhood resident of 30 Salisbury View she was one of countless Armley residents and workers who died of asbestos exposure from the former JW Roberts Factory. Her landmark legal case helped to bring justice for many other people who were environmentally exposed to asbestos. “No matter how small you are, you can fight and no matter how big you are, you can lose.” 1936-1997
