I received the following photograph from Maggie Moran (who presently lives in Connecticut, USA). It shows some of the people from the village who volunteered to be extras in a BBC documentary about the 1926 miners strike. Maggie says that her Dad (Tommy Hagan) is in the back row with the fake mustache. She also mentions that she recognizes Dot Henderson and a couple of other faces but cannot put names to them. I recognize Terry Hoban, third from the right in the middle row and Tom Cowie at the front right. Marky Bailes is shown on the left front row with the bowler hat, courtesy of Terry Hagan for the update.

The documentary was made in 1966 but no copies of it are available. (Allan Fulcher checked with a friend at the BBC to see if a copy was available somewhere but to no avail.)

If anyone has further information on these pictures please contact me at cooky08054@comcast.net
