Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Miners of Northumberland and Durham: A History of Their Social and Political Progress This is a wonderful story, revealing the hard and tragic life of the Miner and his family during the early part of the nineteenth century. It is published just at a time when the men who are the connecting link between that day and this are fast passing away, and therefore it comes at an opportune moment when there is a very grave danger of the Northern Miner, expecially the younger generation, forgetting the past history of our industry, and with it our indebtedness to those noble pioneers who so faithfully, and at great personal sacrifice and privation, fought and toiled so that the greater liberty we now enjoy might be won.

Excerpt: ... refers to binding time in the following lines of " The Pitman's Pay" -- "Just like wor maisters when wor bun, If men and lads be verra scant, They wheedle us wi' yel and fun, And coax us into what they want. But myek yor mark, then snuffs and sneers Suin stop yor gob and lay yor braggin; When yence yor feet are i' the geers, Maw soul, they keep yor paunches waggin." CHAPTER IV, THE CO-OPEBATIVE MOVEMENT, AND HEPBURN'S UNION. From the settlement of the strike about the binding time things went on peaceably, and nothing occurred worthy of being recorded till the year 1825, when there was an attempt made to carry out a great social reform. Boys at this time used to be from seventeen to eighteen hours a day in the mine. Allowed to go down at the early, and almost infantile age of six years, the whole of their youthful days were spent in the dismal mine till they became 21 years of age; and, during the whole of this long period, as we have already remarked, they hardly ever saw the happy, health-giving daylight and sunshine, except at short intervals. There were no schools, and no time to attend them had there been so that education amongst miners in those days was out of the question, with the exception of one here and there. Amongst the few, however, there was one bold, honest, intelligent man, named Mackintosh, who was a miner, and felt the degraded state of his fellow-men, and who set about the great social work of co-operation, with a view to the amelioration of himself and his companions. Like Galileo, however, he lived before his time. A commencement was made at Hetton, in the County of Durham, on the co-operative principle, but it soon failed, and it cannot be wondered at, when the prejudice and the ignorance that prevailed at this...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Durham Miners (1662-1921) This little book makes no claim to be an exhaustive history of the Durham Miners, still less a history of the mining industry in the County. I have merely put together in convenient form the results of some researches among the Home Office Papers in the Public Record Office and other contemporary records and local proceedings, with what I have gleaned from published sources. In this work I have been much helped by Miss Ivy Schmidt. My indebtedness to Richard Fynes (The Miners of Northumberland and Durham), John Wilson (History of the Durham Miners' Association, 1870-1904), and Mr. and Mrs. Hammond (The Skilled Labourer) is great.

Download or read book The Pit Sinkers of Northumberland and Durham written by Peter Ford Mason and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaft sinking for the extraction of minerals has taken place for centuries, and for much of this time, coal mining was carried out in the North East of England. Various methods of pit sinking developed from the use of shallow bell pits to the excavation of deep shafts, in order to access rich seams of coal and other minerals for sale in rapidly urbanising areas such as London. In the close mining communities of Northumberland and Durham, those who dug the initial shafts, the sinkers themselves, were regarded as the mining elite. This book not only tells the story of mining itself, through upheaval and technological developments, but also focuses on the lives of miners and their families above ground in the emerging pit towns adn villages; places where religion adn miners' galas were an integral part of life. Peter Ford Mason, descended from three generations of County Durham miners, has written a fascinating investigation onto miming society, which makes a compelling read for anyone interested in the social history of the North East or the mining industry as a whole.
