The loud, wheezy hoot of the pit horn used to signal the end of the shift. Blaring across the town, it blew the changes. We’d all hear it.

Ashington was the hub of a network of subsidiary collieries including Woodhorn (now a museum), Ellington and Lynemouth, which both appropriately featured as film locations for Billy Elliot. ‘The UK went bust in 1976 under chancellor Denis Healey and had to be bailed out by the International Monetary Fund. Do we have a debt crisis today under his namesake?’ Mining was in the local blood. To work ‘doon the pit’ was a proud profession and a natural family succession.
