Social and economic aspects of the Durham Coalfield
It was a privilege to give a talk on 23/10/2006 to 40 members of the Farnborough branch of the University of the Third Age [U3A]. The subject was ‘some social and economic aspects of the Durham Coalfield’. It was also a great privilege to represent the miners and their families and I was conscious of the fact that I had not got their permission! I enjoyed doing the research but facing a bright eyed, bushy tailed and well informed group was daunting. I need not have worried. Once I got the first five minutes out of the way it was a pleasure to speak to them.
