This video just displays how Horden has lost its community spirit since the closure of the colliery. They say it was cheaper to get coal from abroad but think about it in the long run how many people have claimed sickness benefits and haven't worked since the pit? A fair few I can tell you!

Great video of a way of life that has gone forever thanks to Thatcher. Many of my own family were working underground going back as far as the 1750's in the area around Easington.I taped the programme back in 1986 and have watched it many times. Magic to see it on YouTube. Schools should show children what has happened over the last decades.
