Does anyone have information about Backworth Collieries.
My uncle Frank Dack of North Shields worked for them around the 1940's

Hi Ann,

Durham Mining Museum has a lot of info.  Depends what you're looking for, I suppose.

If you've been on the DMM site I'm sure you'll have figured out by now that the place is called Backworth.

Backwoth is how it sounds when we say it  ;D

Ah - I thought you'd gone phonetic  ;D

If you don't find anything of interest on DMM let me know and I'll see if any of my contacts have any info.

Re Backworth Collieries.

I was born in Backworth. My family lived and worked in and around the  village for 4 generations. I have a wealth of information about the area, It depends on what you would like to know!
