Who made this video?

I love this old footage - a real nostalgia trip for me. I left the North East for London about 25 years ago & really miss this high windy little corner of NW County Durham. I lived down the valley in Lanchester as a kid but my parents were originally from Delves Lane & Leadgate so I've a real affinity with this area. Decent working people with a strong sense of regional pride & identity - something I never found in London but something I still feel whenever I'm back & visit Consett, Leadgate & the surrounding areas. I genuinely never realised how much I'd grow to miss the area so thanks for posting up this footage.

Who made this video ?

So enjoyed this video. My mother was born in Leadgate in 1916, Irene Tait. Her father Robert is on the WWI memorial outside the garage. Her mother was a Borthwick - some of you may have known Isaiah Borthwick or Anthony Borthwick who died in 2012. Love to hear these interviews, and those wonderful accents. I live in Devon, but visited Leadgate last month (October 2022) - but I shall be back.

Where did you get this video?

Anyone from Leadgate know Eva Sanderson, her brother lived with her he was Bill Sanderson neither of them ever married. Uncle Bill loved a bet on the horses and a pint of Newcastle brown. My Aunt Eva was a Methodist and I don’t think Uncle Bill knew what a church looked like lol

These certainly take me back. Miss Rossi (Vera) was head mistress at Hookergate grammar and despite being only the size of ha'porth of copper ruled with a rod of iron. Every Saturday I went to the library upstairs in Middle Street to change my books. Happy carefree days. Thanks for the memories.

Lived in Hamsterley from about 1990-1996 this brings back some memories

Some memories on here

Thank You so much for this video I have lived in Canada for 33 years originally I was born a AT 39 S t Ives Rod, attended St Ives school and in 1990 took my only daughter back home to be christened at ST Ives.. what wonderful memories this brings back . Great Video

Where was this place situated,

Hi any idea what year this is? That's my grandfather Andrew Farley at 4.30. I have no video of him and that's the first time I've seen him since he passed in 1991. Thank you so much.

So what You saying? Opencast would harm them? Never heard so much bullshit lately about o.c. I’ve worked it for 40 years and never seen any wildlife harmed. In fact nearly every job I’ve been on, reinstated the land better than before, including ponds and new hedgerows , Evan put peat back in the same place! Not an easy task, if you go to leadgate today, 7/4/18 you will see a small group of? Undescribable creatures, camped on the side of road? They fuckin stink, their hair is like big towropes! Could pull scrapers out! They been shiteing in hedge for months! Non of them are Evan from the northeast! Heed full of brains, and for what? So they tramp round the country protesting about anything and everything, with not a clue about what their on about! Why they not working? Taxpayers money educated these fucken shower! And now it’s paying their benefits! You have to see these basterds to beleive it! I hope an artic goes out of control one night and cleanse the lot of them out! I’m only voicing my opinion., like they do, only they have the media on their side!! Amen!

Thanks Martin for your great video. I grew up in Consett but left at eighteen. It was good to remember the old days and see the photos of the places that are now no longer there. Happy memories indeed!!

The last train to Consett is the same BR class that took the Consett Crusade to London, in fact it could be the same one.

great job with the vid ;)

So weird seeing some of these people again. Thank you.

Lovely video
