KING COAL: A CENTURY OF
COAL MINING ON FILM
Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle

Drawn from the BFI National Archive, King Coal offers a remarkable insight into an industry which came to define 20th century Britain, from precious early films such as A Day in the Life of a Coal Miner (1910) and Coal Face (1935) to 1940s animation, 1980s footage shot during the turmoil of the Miners’ Strike, and footage of the Durham Miners’ Gala in 1963.
