I Like these kind of films...i woked at many in LANCASHIRE and another in STAFFORDSHIRE and my father JIM LOWES worked at EASINGTON ...Thank you
Thanks for this mate my dad worked down blackhall and horden until they closed in the 80s
2:09 what a lovely little engine! Any chance it was preserved? So many old engines when we were kids and we just thought them dirty old things compared to the streaks that occasionally came through!

The possibility is probably very small that it was preserved, it most likely went for scrap at some point!

Beamish will know which colliery it came from, so perhaps there's a small chance that it's the one!
Im pleased that you enjoy them,t hey are just a tiny bit of nostalgia for everyone.
Powerful images Mr Telly
No bother, I remember Blackhall Colliery well as we used to visit Crimdom Dene throughout the 70's and 80's.
Brilliant

Thanks a compliment for a change, instead of telling me how I should have made it, usually from someone who has never attempted to upload a video to KZread. Lol!
I was a Miner at Thurcroft Collery and it was very Hard work
