CRAMLINGTON TRAIN WRECKERS (from Ed Waugh)

26 July 2023 @ 14:00 - 18:30

Wednesday, July 26 @ 2pm & 6.30pm
The Hub, Cramlington

We had 160 at the meetings about the Cramlington Train Wreckers on March 30 and the follow-up film/talk in July 26 has already attracted 75 people with seven weeks to go.

The event during the General Strike led to the imprisonment of eight Northumberland miners for a total of 48 years.

A campaign by the labour and trade union movement got them out a lot earlier. It’s an incredible story.

Given it happened during the General Strike of 1926, and we are approaching the centenary, we are working with local organisations on the project.

Also Google: “Cramlington Train Wreckers” to see the work we’ve already done.

We have secured the rights to the 30-minute (1970) BBC film called Yesterday’s Witness, about the Cramlington Train Wreckers.
