About
Unsworth was born in Wingate, a mining village in County Durham, England, to a family of miners. His father first entered the mines at age 12 and ordinarily Unsworth would have followed him into the mines. However when his father was 19, he travelled to the United States for a few years and on returning to England entered the insurance business and thus began moving his family up the economic ladder and out of the mines.
