A proud coalminer's daughter

I have just read Margaret Matson’s account of her childhood as a coalminer’s daughter and thoroughly recommend it to those of you who want to capture the essence of the Durham mining families.  It will take you little more than 15 minutes to read it. It covers the period 1936 to the late 1940s.


To access the article using Google simply type in the following:

Research Projects - then
Browse by title – it’s the very first of many interesting articles on the site.

 


Best regards,
