SUMMARY:CANCELLED. NELH Tuesday Meeting: Peter Smith\, The effects of Deindustrialisation on a 1960's Railway Town
DESCRIPTION:Our apologies\, a last-minute technical problem means we cannot go ahead with tonight’s meeting.\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82824674327?pwd=ckUvQkt4MStLUzRwVjQ5UHdtSzhlZz09\n\nMeeting ID: 828 2467 4327\nPasscode: 172736\n\nI was born in Ashington\, where I lived within view of the colliery shunting yard and a lifelong obsession with railways was born. I did however spend most of my formative years living and working in and around Darlington. \nIn 2012 I redid my GCSE English for fun. I enjoyed it so much I followed it in 2013 with A Levels in English Law and History. In 2016 I gave up my 28 years in the print industry to Studied at Teesside University. I gained a BA in history\, with a dissertation looking at Important Railway anniversaries and commemoration. I then went on to study a Masters\, looking at railways and deindustrialisation in the North East. \nI am now A PhD Candidate at Teesside and am expanding my earlier work on the railway closures in and around Darlington. My intention is to interview former railway workers and their families about how Beechings cuts impacted and changed their lives. I also think this is an important opportunity to record the work and life experiences of these people before they are lost to time. \nMy talk will look at how the Beeching report and the cuts that followed impacted Darlington and the surrounding North East in the 1960s. Additionally\, how the voices of those that worked in the rail industry are an important strand of history that need to be saved and this adds an extra dimension to what historians have already learnt about this period. How oral history is an increasingly important concept for many historians. Furthermore\, how Darlington has changed from an industrial town in the 1960s and 70s\, to the post industrial one we have today\, with its modern industries. \nFinally\, I would like to say a little about the cultural Impact the railways have had across the town with the 200th anniversary of the Stockton & Darlington looming into view next year. How railway culture\, married with the industrial changes have affected this town and what this two-hundred-year-old industry still mean to current generations. \n\nPeter Smith on his research into the impact of the Beeching cuts and the closure of the Darlington railway works in the 1960s

SUMMARY:Durham University. Liam Liburd: HistoryNow! Pride Month Event - A Queer Tale for the Silver Screen: Projections from the Archive of a Gay WWII Movie Star
DESCRIPTION:My name is Liam Liburd and I’m the Assistant Professor of Black British History at Durham University. I’m also the Department of History’s Public History Officer and am responsible for arranging history-related public events across the academic year. \nYou very kindly shared the details of our Black History Month event with your contacts in October last year. I’m now writing to bring our Pride Month event to your attention. \nTo mark Pride Month\, we are holding a free lunchtime public talk by Dr. David Minto to mark Pride Month. \nA Queer Tale for the Silver Screen: Projections from the Archive of a Gay WWII Movie Star\nIn the early 1940s Anton Walbrook was one of Britain’s most celebrated actors\, famed for his key contributions to wartime films and stage plays. He was also technically an “enemy alien\,” having fled from Nazi Germany\, and an intensely private man who formed queer relationships at a time when Britain criminalised homosexuality. \nUsing newly revealed documents alongside film clips of Walbrook’s most dazzling performances\, this talk explores the tensions and overlaps between the actor’s roles in Britain as foreign refugee\, patriotic propagandist\, and gay movie star. It casts him as an extraordinary but revealing presence in a world of queer entertainment as well as national interest. \nWhen: 12pm\, Monday 10th June\nWhere: Room PG20\, Pemberton Building (next to the Cathedral) \nAttendance is free\, please register here.
