My father ( lived Cowpen, worked "A" Pit Bedlington Station) used to say he had been to Blyth beech- under it, not on it.

Also that he had fish paste sandwiches for his " bait", made by himself after putting up his hand to snatch a fish from the sea.

He also boasted about how posh the flushing toilets were down the pit !

When I was a school we were taken down Shilbottle pit by some students  I would be about 14 at the time
the best thing about the trip was the meal we had in the canteen there
