North East Miners
« on: Tuesday 16 August 11 18:01 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone.  I've seen miracles performed on this page.  Can anyone do anything to restore this jolly shot of Durham Miners?

Fingers crossed,

Absolutely amazing - many thanks indeed.  How you managed that result so quickly, I couldn't imagine.

Irene, many thanks to you too - they are truly brilliant. 

I think between the two of you I now have what I was looking for.  I am so grateful to you.

A lovely photo, just wondering where these "happy miners" are from.

Thank you.

Hi "Old Virginia",

The miners are all from the Dene Valley and I suspect Blackboy A Pit.  It is one of a series in a collection I have posted at http://www.lastrp.com/?page_id=6634 which are part of a much larger collection belonging to Colin Turner of Eldon, a local historian.  Some great underground shots are included in the collection.  I hope you enjoy them.  Are you researching a particular pit or individual?  Let me know as I have quite a lot of additional material that has not been published.

Thank you David for the information and link. I just love the photo and the restores are just brilliant.  I am sure I will  enjoy the photos you have posted on the site and will be looking out for any miners from Craghead.
