MINING CULTURE - MINING INSTITUTE FESTIVAL It is to take place, appropriately, at the Mining Institute on Westgate Road, Newcastle, over two successive Saturdays. All the events fall under the heading Mining the Institute. JOHN CROMPTON, president of the Institute, says the Great Northern Coalfield exported more than tools and expertise to emerging coalfields around the world. Its people also carried their cultural heritage, values, belief systems and names – which is why there are so many Newcastles around the world. Volunteers working with historian BILL LANCASTER have been exploring this coalmining diaspora to see how people from this part of England literally changed the world.
