Would you like to win a copy of this book for yourself or a younger friend or family member? It’s by local author @KaronJAlderman and is set in and around Heaton today and around the time of the Heaton mining disaster.
All you have to do is be the first to answer this question:
In what year did the mining disaster, in which 75 men and boys died, take place?

#ChooseBookshops #Heaton – at Newcastle Upon Tyne, England
Heaton’s got a new bookshop. Bolingbroke Street on the corner with Heaton Park Road. It’s time you were down there!
If you’ve not got a ticket for the match, you’re very welcome to join us at St George’s Church in High Heaton for what should be a great talk on why our railway history should be MUCH more celebrated. Arrivederci.
