Northern Lands

Northern Lands; pits, mines and the community The North East of England, a proud region shaped by its rugged landscapes and hard-working people, has a rich heritage deeply intertwined with coal mining. From the rolling hills of County Durham to the banks of the River Tyne, the coal industry powered not just the region, but much of Britain during the Industrial Revolution and beyond. It left an indelible mark on the North East’s identity, culture, and community spirit.
