Symptoms Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think they still have 'The Big Meeting' as they call their Durham version of the Picnic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threegee Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Cue to reveal that Bedlington.co.uk has some full colour footage of a late 1950's Miner's Picnic that's never been seen in public. This from the days when most stuff - if it exists at all - was in B&W. Getting it off Standard 8 onto the web, at best quality, and without damaging it, may take a little while though.
