This Northumberland Miners' Picnic footage, originally shot in Bedlington in June 1959, has been converted from cine film onto DVD.The first ever Northumberland Miners' Picnic was held on June 10, 1866 at Boghouses, Cramlington, near Blyth.
In this fascinating archive footage the world of the miners' picnic, held every summer, is brought back to life: the brass bands, the bright colliery banners, the speeches that seemed to go on and on, and the funfairs, which everyone enjoyed.
The Northumberland Miners' Picnic was not only held in Bedlington, but Morpeth and Ashington.
Step back in time to June 1959, and enjoy scenes from not only one archive footage, but two. See for yourself what it was like. Imagine how it was to be part of it.
This is superb quality DVD will bring it all to life, and is very enjoyable and educational.
If you are young you will really see how it was for your great grand-parents, grand-parents, and parents and member of your family.
This is definitely a DVD for your collection.
Enjoy!
