  • I went for a visit to a place I once lived and spent many a year there with my family. Easington Colliery Co Durham once a striving Place to live is a former shell of itself after the Pit was closed on May 7th 1993. You can now buy Properties here for £5,000 and it’s sad to see so many boarded up houses and shops… #cheaphouses #abandoned #property #easingtoncolliery #housesforsale #houses #housingmarket #exploring

    Discovered your videos this week as I was talking to my wife about the number of pubs that used to be in Easington village. We moved here in 2021. Moved here from Hertfordshire for work. Fell in love with the people and the countryside. Thank you for showing us what the area was like and some nooks we were unaware of. The area is wonderful made better by the people.

    I have just come back from living and working abroad, and it break my heart to see what a sh*t hole Easington Colliery has become. So pleased I have fond memories of growing up in Easington. Will be giving back to the community when I start work at the local Comprehensive we both went to in the 80's. Jesus Christ, £5k is a months wages....strange times. What did the house go for?
    Went to the Leather cap for the first time a few weeks ago for Zan's dads funeral.
    No more PPR videos - spent hours in there as a teenager trying out new Atari games ans movies.
