Comprehensive guide to what remains of the North East's Mining Heritage
The miners of the North-East, working in the most dangerous
of conditions, supplied the coal which fuelled the engines of
the Industrial Revolution and provided heating and lighting
to millions of homes. Throughout much of County Durham
and Northumberland pit communities sprang up because of
the need for coal. Mining was fundamental to the
development of the region.
Illustrated with numerous colour photographs, Echoes of the
North-East Miners throws the spotlight on the physical
heritage left by the pitmen and their communities, including
the numerous memorials and banners which speak so
eloquently of their struggles in the face of adversity, their
compassion and their enduring spirit of friendship.
