Woodhorn Colliery: Laski-Holmes Letters
These letters were written by Harold Laski, a socialist academic from London, who visited Ashington in the 1920s to
give lectures on politics. They were written to Oliver Wendell Holmes, a United States Supreme Court judge.
Laski found that many Ashington miners were highly educated.
