I remember being taken on daytrips to Seaton Carew with local children by NUM, and I remember getting shoes and clothes donated. We were told from Russian families. it seemed like a really fantastic time, though I remember asking shopkeepers for unwanted bread and veg. ”

“ We lived in a prefab when I was 3 months old in 1947 till they decided to pull them down. My Mum loved her prefab and was never really happy in the next house. It had a kitchen with fridge and the living room had a coal fire with doors that that heated the water and the house. WE had a bathroom and separate toilet and two bedrooms. The garden was amazing with a large vegetable garden back garden with a big drying green and side garden and two front lawns with rosebeds. We were so happy. My brother came along in 1951 and we were there until I was 15. The neighbours were amazing and nothing ... ”

“ My Grandparents lived in one of the houses being taken to Beamish for almost 50 years and I have fond memories of staying there. I can remember the old range in the kitchen and the constant smell of freshly baked bread ”

“ I remember my dad being on strike. I must of been around 13. My brother and I went to a Christmas party organised for the miners children. . We were given a bag of goodies donated by the Russian miners. Although it was very hard and my parents used what savings they had. My mam worked in the school kitchen just to help get by. They were hard times but there was a sense of community and togetherness. Although it was a struggle for my parents I never felt that we suffered as children we just got on with it. ”
