Is this a real project TomMoore or a thesis for your third year?

You must be aware of the museum already in existence at Woodhorn which chronicles pit village and miners lives so any museum at Druridge would need to be quite distinct from that.
There were only three things going for the area, coal, farming and the sea. The coal affected all of these, bringing people in to the area from the surrounding county and further afield and either moving them on when it all collapsed or leaving them stranded without a purpose.
There is still a community at Hadstone with strong memories of the Drift and possibly West Chevington. Radcliffe was added to Amble so there will no doubt be community memories in the local club.
