the lone ranger

i moved into burnside in 1952 then moved to blyth in 19 70 the worst thing i have done in my life

i used to live in burnside 1952 till 197o it was always clean and tidy also the people were very good to have as neigbours

netherton did have a proper dog racing track . it was in the 1950s .i was one of the trappers .iused to put the dogs into the traps .when it was time to let them out i used to open the trap and off they whent

i was born and bread in bedlington shire . when i reed some of the posts regarding pit matic there are some words i dont know what they meen .

when school finished in the afternoon at guidepost on the way home i would fill the coal into the shed to get some money so i could go to the humford baths . by the way my freinds did as well .they were good days.

hello eggy 1948 i dont know if mike has stopped producing the cree full of coal.. i stopped bying it as i thought it was dying due to not having as many old time miners and other older people that mabe dont write in now.

i used to get the creefull of coal by mike kircup during its hay day it was good reeding when we had a good number of miners to post in .as the days have gone by a lot ove miners have passed away so we havent got many people left to post in comments . luckly i am still here as an x miner happy days .

hello h.p.w i have read all your posts .all the names you have mentshiond about minors at choppington b colliery i knew all of them due to you complimenting about my work saying i was bloody good at my job . i am going to give you a hint to my name .brian b,,ford one day i might get your name .

hello hpw thank you for your compliment about being a good composite worker and a drifter developer .i enjoyed every day of working in the mines . i would do the same again if i had my time to live again .. later on i went to college at ashington to sit for my deputies tickets . you seem to know my name other than the lone ranger . if you post it and you are right i will admit it

hpw i knew all the people you have named in the accident about the coal cutter .i think i would know you if i ever see you as i was working under ground at the same time

i played the game you were on about it was mount the cuddy you followd each other mounting the cuddy untill it collapsed .happy days .

welcome back hpw i worked at choppington high colliery between 1952 and 1966 .i cant remember any shunter being run over by a 21 ton coal waggon .

is it not sick posting about miners being killed in the collierys the time i worked under ground there was 4 killed .it is not a nice thing to talk about
