Durham and for my first few months that was home. For employment reasons my family moved to NWLondon. I often visited Birtley, Gateshead during my lifetime. What a change over the years! Pit heaps disappeared, grass grew in their place. the miner’s cottage where I was born was replaced with a field. What a change in the whole vista. Black to green, let’s keep it that way!
