Mr Belcher
Gradual development and expansion of Horden streets and amenities. Steam wagon brought in bricks for new houses. People living in allotments, some had been evicted from pit houses. Tap in the street, but no facilities in the allotments. Not much money to go around. Community, everyone went to church. Obeyed parents. Not much to do, watched others play billiards. Some joined up to get out of putting in the mine. Brother fined for joining up instead of going to pit. Went to court as a child because had no boots to go to school in – Colonel on the bench mistook six man pay note for one man’s pay...

“ LNER class V3. I lived on Durham Rly Stn 1956~1964 & had several rides on these loco's which were often used as station pilots. One of the pilot duties entailed waiting in a siding near Durham North signal box for the arrival of a stopping passenger train in platform 4. The pilot would buffer-up to the rear of the train and assist it over the viaduct. It would then run back through platform 4 into the siding & await arrival of the next train requiring assistance. They had other duties too. ”
