North East Labour History Society notes; the Sid Chaplin Memorial Trophy; Announcements; Enthusiasms; the WEA. 3 north east history Editorial The articles in this year’s issue are linked by several different themes. Firstly and most obviously coal mining and pit communities, the industry and way of life which once helped to define our region. Marie-Therese Mayne gives an account of the Ashington Group of pitmen painters, showing how their art grew out of their work and how their relationship with the cultural establishment was uneasy. Margaret Headley reconstructs the life of her great-grandmother in the Durham coalfield through a fascinating synthesis of family history and labour history. Dave Ridley brings to light the violent but forgotten repression of the Newbottle Colliery dispute of 1734, and Katy Shaw analyses the poetry emerging from the local coalfield communities at the end of the 1984/5 strike. Culture too, links these pieces; the art and poetry above but also the culture of an inter-relationship between work, language and environment which Katrina Porteous traces in the Northumberland fishing communities. In a sense similar links are there in the work of Sid Chaplin, miner, novelist, and a founder member of the North East Labour History Society, who John Mapplebeck celebrates in what would have been the novelist’s ninetieth year. 2006 sees the re-issue of two of Sid Chaplin’s books by Flambard Press. Struggle, too is present in these articles: the vicious class repression at Newbottle, and the great strike that preceded the end of coal mining in the region; also in the less dramatic struggles of ordinary people to get by and carry on in arduous circumstances. Finally Eddie Pipe offers a warm and amusing reminiscence about his childhood in a working class area of Sunderland before the war, and provides a human angle that often seems to go missing from conventional history writing. Some of these articles, and those planned for future issues, grew out of the ‘First Tuesday’ discussion group that is described in our section of North East Labour History Society news. We hope to see more readers coming along and taking part in the discussions. 4 north east history As in previous years the Journal offers a poetry section, news about archive deposits, another in the oral history interview series, announcements and of course reviews. This year the reviews include the television series Our Friends in the North (now available on DVD/video), and a debate over Matt Perry’s recent book on the Jarrow March. It’s not easy to include debates, responses and feed- back in an annual publication and so we intend to develop opportunities to do this through our website – www.nelh.org . Please let us know what you think about our publication, activities and work generally. The North East Labour History Society was formed in 1968 and our Journal has been appearing since 1969. This makes us one of the oldest regional labour his- tory societies in the country. We believe that issue 37 of the Journal demonstrates that the research, study and discussion of labour history in the North East of England will continue to be vibrant. My thanks to the 2006 Editorial Team: John Charlton, Sandy Irvine, Lewis Mates, Ben Sellers, Win Stokes and Willie Thompson. Don Watson Joe Clarke 1927-2006 Joe Clarke died in mid-July just as we were going to press. Joe was a founding member of the North East Labour History Society and the first Secretary. Born in Dublin in a strong republican family he came to Newcastle during the Second World War. He served his time as an engineering draughtsman before studying for a degree. This led to employment in higher education where he was a pioneer in developing the history of science and technology. His great monument is the comprehensive two volume work Building Ships on the North East Coast published in 1997.

    Rights List : March 2020 Brotherstone Creative Management Mortimer House, Mortimer Street London W1T 3JH +44 (0) 7908 542 866 bcm-agency.com [email protected] Fiction Kirstin Innes SCABBY QUEEN Scenes From A Life Three days before her fifty-first birthday, Clio Campbell - one-hit-wonder, political activist, life-long-love and one- night-stand - kills herself in her friend Ruth's spare bedroom. And, as practical as she is, Ruth doesn't know what to do. Or how to feel. Because knowing and loving Clio Campbell was never straightforward. To Neil, she was his great unrequited love. He'd known it since their days on picket lines as teenagers. Now she's a sentence in his email inbox: Remember me well. The media had loved her as a sexy young starlet, but laughed her off as a ranting spinster as she aged. But with news of her suicide, Clio Campbell is transformed into a posthumous heroine for politically chaotic times. Stretching over five decades, taking in the miners' strikes to Brexit and beyond; hopping between a tiny Scottish island, a Brixton anarchist squat, the bloody Genoa G8 protests, the poll tax riots and Top of the Pops, Scabby Queen is a portrait of a woman who refuses to compromise, told by her friends and lovers, enemies and fans. As word spreads of what Clio has done, half a century of memories, of pain and of joy are wrenched to the surface. Those who loved her, those who hated her, and those that felt both ways at once, are forced to ask one question: Who was Clio Campbell? Reminiscent of Our Friends In The North, Jackie Kay’s Trumpet and Rachel Cusk’s The Flamethrowers, this is a multifaceted look at a complex female character, an examination of the way we obsess over and vilify female celebrities, and a political novel for our times.

Broad: ‘Northumberland at War’. At the Battle of Towton in 1461 the Lancastrian forces of Henry VI were defeated by the Yorkist forces of Edward IV. However Henry VI, with his wife, son and a few knights, fled north and found sanctuary in Scotland, where, in exchange for the town of Berwick, the Scots granted them finance, housing and troops. Henry was therefore able to maintain a presence in Northumberland and his supporters were able to claim that he was in fact as well as in theory sovereign resident in Northumberland.

SETTLEMENTS 8 County Durham Settlement Study September 2017 Planning the future of County Durham 1 Context 1 Context County Durham has a population of 224,000 households (Census 2011) and covers an area of 222,600 hectares. The County stretches from the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in the west to the North Sea Heritage Coast in the east and borders Gateshead and Sunderland, Northumberland, Cumbria and Hartlepool, Stockton, Darlington and North Yorkshire. Although commonly regarded as a predominantly rural area, the County varies in character from remote and sparsely populated areas in the west, to the former coalfield communities in the centre and east, where 90% of the population lives east of the A68 road in around half of the County by area. The Settlement Study 2017 seeks to provide an understanding of the number and range of services available within each of the 230 settlements within County Durham. (a) Identifying the number and range of services and facilities available within a settlement is useful context to inform decision making both for planning applications and policy formulation. The range and number of services within a settlement is usually, but not always, proportionate to the size of its population. The services within a settlement will generally determine a settlement's role and sphere of influence. This baseline position provides one aspect for considering sustainability and should be used alongside other relevant, local circumstances.

  • Beadnell Bay Transitional and Coastal Waters Surveys
    Beadnell Bay Transitional and Coastal Waters Surveys March 2016 – February 2017 Report prepared by: Natalie Wallace Northumberland Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority 8 Ennerdale Road Blyth NE24 4RT Tel: 01670 797676 Email: [email protected] Website: www.nifca.gov.uk Abstract The purpose of this report is to assess the state of Transitional and Coastal Waters (TrAC) fish species in Beadnell Bay to evaluate the importance of the site for juvenile fish. Beach seine nets were deployed at 3 locations along the shore, all fish were identified to species level and total length was measured for a sub-sample of each species. A total of 16 fish species were identified. The most common species were Lesser Sandeel (Ammodytes tobianus), Sprat (Sprattus sprattus), Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus), and Flounder (Pleuronectes flesus). Mean length was below size at maturity values obtained for several species (including herring, sprat and sandeel) suggesting a high number of juveniles occurring at the site. This report is intended to provide baseline information relating to which species and life stages of fish occur at Beadnell Bay, in order to inform future management of the site. Introduction The North Sea is one of the most productive shallow seas in the world (Monaghan, 1992). Shallow- water coastal habitats are highly productive due to factors such as shallow depths, seasonally warm temperatures and nutrients derived from river runoff and are therefore suitable nursery habitats for several commercially important fish species (Stevenson et al., 2014). The abundance of small fish in shallow waters is encouraged due to enhanced survivorship and growth (Gillanders et al., 2003) and a lower risk of predation (Manderson et al., 2004).
