Jim Slaughter's Narrative History: Night Shift
"Most men in night shift went to bed for two hours in the afternoon, and before you went to work, you know the
old-fashioned fireplaces? There was a fender round the outside, and me dad wouldn't go to work unless he got out
of bed to go to work, it didn't matter what shift he was in. Us young lads used to get up about eleven o'clock in
the morning and go down to Newbiggin and just get home in time, four o'clock, to get to work, you know.
But, all your pit clothes were put on the fender, or on the oven door, to be warmed for you going to work."
