Ashington Colliery Remembered.

[@dianehorner3985]

I remember Ashington in the 70s. My step grandfather came from there! I loved going there on "holiday". He lived on Eighth Row!

Did my underground training at Ashington colliery in the 1970s. Was a busy town with no empty shops or charity shops. All the young kids worked at a pit or in a supply industry with good wages. Not now.
