Pitmatic : Stories and the Talk of The North East Coalfield Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The last major mine in the North East region closed in 2005 and with it went a way of life.

Through dialect words, humour, stories and songs Pitmatic will help you to understand the everyday lives and work of miners.

Miners who provided fuel, helped sustain an economy, consolidated communities and created a unique and rich regional culture.

This book is a joyous celebration of the history of the North East bringing together the words spoken by miners and their families and how they related to the wider languages of the world.
