Thanks for that Craig i thoroughly enjoyed those clips, i did buy the film on DVD as a gift for a recently emigrated friend (born in marske) and took it with me to New York but i still haven't seen it right through. The last time he was over we went to the Skinning Grove museum and what an amazing place that is and isn't it great to see our history (and not this geordie coal proganda we usually have to endure) for a change we hear alot about about the cooksonesque past of durham and newcastle and the endless laments of thei coal based past, but very little of what happened here.

I would like to thank you for at least highlighting "our" history to the world and to the outer parts of this area what we did achieve here and how we did leave our mark on the developing world.

I have one question though as we were the infant hercules and the ironopolis and as a comparison California became wealthy through their gold seems where did the money and the investment in our "gold rush" end up we had all the basis to create a great and dominant city with rich natural resources and one of the greatest natural ports in europe so where did it all go?

cheers Tweek....dead right...i was sick to be the back teeth of Geordie history and our story not being known in much of Teesside...the film was the way to tell a dynamic story in a fittingly dynamic way so that it would reach tha people...all ages, backgrounds etc. Despite all it huge success...Tyne Tees and BBC North East wouldnt screen it. Still they got in the neck when those who saw it at the UGC jammed the switchboard the next day complaining.

As for all the wealth..where did it go indeed? And where is it going now? There are plenty of multi-national chemical corporation's stinking the place out but how many of us work there???
