arthur no one like arthur!
We lived in Willington for about twelve years. For the first five years, my Dad ran the Market Hotel pub on the Main Street, leaving to join the factory workforce at Westool, in what then was West Auckland, where I was an apprentice.
Sam is a gem singer songwriter
Brilliant 🎉
I am very excited to see this in steam. It would be amazing to see it in action on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
Same here, both grandparents worked the East Durham Coalfield, many thanks, just found a copy for sale! Cheers.
Where can you see it? Thanks!
meaningful worthwhile jobs paying respectable wages give dignity and pride. the coal industry along with various other industries should be prosperous and flourishing today. instead two bob jobs zero hours working. anyhow thatcher dead and gone turned to rust mining communities still alive and well.
An inquiry into what happened at Orgreave during the bitter year long miners strike on 18th June 1984 will complete the inquest into the Hillsborough Disaster five years later. The probe could reveal the corruption in the Met over the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 and police misconduct over unsolved crimes including the killing of Jill Dando, the disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh and Andy Gosden and the death of the lecturer and anti-fascist activist Blair Peach who was the victim of police brutality at the National Front march that ended in a riot in 1979. And did Margaret Thatcher and the force protected Savile from prosecution as well as scandals as recent as Grenfell Tower? An inquiry into what happened in South Yorkshire 40 years ago will cause a major earthquake that could shake the establishment to the ground.
Woe North Shields is the best place on Orth
Nice film. I was pleased to see a good turnout for the rally. Hopefully an inquiry will be forthcoming, and hopefully we will not see such events repeat themselves in the future.
Wow that's the very first time I have seen or even heard of the Great Fire. What an interesting no that's not the word for this it's amazing and outstanding I was enthralled to see places and listen to this true story. They should make a film ( I mean a film with actors etc). You have made my afternoon and Thankyou to all of the people who explained this so well. I Appreciate your time and effort Thank you.
Just read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. The author interviewed some interesting characters from Sunderlands past industrial glories. The tales from working on the South Docks and the shipyards were highlights.
Was this filmed in Beamish? If so, which building?
Hi yes it was, Bill and Kevin was in the Ban Hall in the Pit Village
Such a great place if you look past the chavs, amazing scenery and a strong community.
Hi, I'm a musician from County Durham. I'm creating a music video for a track I've written and wondered whether you'd allow me to use a few seconds from your brilliant video. I would credit you in the video's end credits. I should add that I make no money from the music. Thanks John.
Nicely done.
My grandfather was the engineer at the pit. He said he knew almost every one of those who were killed.
amazing that people remember that far back.
Surprised William Mills of Wear Street, Southwick, never got a mention having invented the first successful hand grenade which was used in WW1 and was known as the 'Mills Bomb': en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Mills_(inventor) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mills_bomb
It ripped the heart out of Sunderland when Vaux closed.
Harry Truman, Mayor of Sunderland, not the man who nuked Hiroshima.
Wonderful
Thomas Kenny VC was an old workmate's grandfather and distant cousin of mine.
well spoke, ladies! Great snippets, Lonely Tower. Jac
Wow I’ve come across this fantastic layout by chance, I’ve never owned a train set before, I’m toying with the idea of doing a coal mine layout in memory of my grandfather who was ex wearmouth colliery back in the day. Do you take this layout to local shows etc around the North East Thanks
This is apparently my great great great great great great uncle i dont know if it’s true but if it is I’m very proud
Throughout the U K NOW is the need for what Heather Wood did during the Strike. We need to be extremely open to creating safety nets in all of our cities and countrysides. WE need to be truly Community. We don't need the useless jerks playing school yard games in Parliament. We need to take back the country from Oligarchs and the filthy rich.
Such a shame seeing how old willington is gone, like how down jubilee park theres random walls and fenceposts just burried in bushes. Or the old railway lines where you can still see exactly where the lines and stations were.
first railway enthusiasts? 🤣
maybe they where the first steam loco spotters its certainly a interesting story about Active or Locomotion's first run
Teesside invented in 1968. The line was in Durham County (DC). The running of the first steam passenger railway service ran from Stockton (in DC) to Shildon (in DC). Darlington was a big market town in DC where wealthy mine owners lived, but Shildon was the collection area for Durham"s coal for transport from Stockton by sea via the river Tees..
I am very pleased to hear some celebrations are planned for the 200th anniversary. I hope there are already plans for 2025?
Locomotion was on the platform at Darlington Station for many, many years before being moved.
Nice to see, I havn´t been to North Shields for nearly 50 years, and shure would like to have a pint at Ye Old Hundred again. But it is gone. I used to be a North Sea fisherman myselfes, but fishing out of Esbjerg, Denmark. There used to be over 600 boats to her name, now noone remains...
A wonderful film that I shall recommend to anyone and everyone who''ll listen. Thank you, from a proud resident of Gateshead.
This film should be on CZcams to get the reach it deserves.
Any idea what locos they’ll take from the NRM or elsewhere to put in this new building?
I’ve seen this - great stuff! Even more proud!
Fantastic live in Australia from my heart is in sometime Sunderland
Stupid music;I cannot hear what he is saying. Why do these people think the public needs wallpaper music to hear anyone talk?
Lovely town my hometown 😊
A long shot but anyone old enough to remember a grocers owned by the Whitehead family in Willington.
I only hope the true story is told. It all started in Witton Park fact!
The old railway is like Holy Ground for rail - enthusiast
Dad told me the story. He was referred to as V.C. McNally around the village. Legend.
England 😇
Interesting & informative. Excellent photography job/drawings/reenactments. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator/guest speakers were describing. Special thanks to the medical 🚑 personal. Medics/stretcher bearers risking life and limb tending to the wounded soldiers. So the over worked nurses could assist the doctors. Then continue with their thankless nursing duties. Assisting the soldiers to a full recovery. Not an occupation for the faint of hearted.
My grandmother, nurse Rosa Brain, was also awarded the MM for bravery in the field. I believe there were only aprox 137 of these medals given to nurses. She also went on to running her own nursing home and hardly spoke of her time during the war.
Very special film, so important to share these messages. Thank you Jill for sharing your story, and thank you Lizzie for the beautiful poetry.
Lovely footage and story. Thanks for making the film and publicising it.
