Horden Colliery

 

I grew up here. That's about it really.  A mining village since very early in the 20th Century. The colliery closed after Arthur and Maggie locked horns in the 1980s. Sadly its a place you come from - not go to. Still had many fond memories of the place, though.

 

On this page - Laurel Hill which is the house I grew up in.
