Hi - today's 'Northern Echo' includes the following :
"Memories of a former north Durham mining community have been recalled in a
new photo book.
Members of Leadgate Historical Association have released 40 photographs of
the former mining community, near Consett, dating from the 1890s to the
1970s. The photographs include some scenes of the former Eden colliery.
It is the first time the association has published a book. Association
president and Leadgate district councillor, Bill Stockdale, said he hoped
the book would be of interest to the whole community.
The booklet costs £1.99 and can be purchased from Mr Stockdale, who can be
contacted on UK telephone number 01207 502678.
Alan.
