Overview

Billowing banners and copious crowds throng Elvet Bridge, Durham, for the annual Miners' Gala. Then they're off to the Racecourse for some impassioned speeches from leading lights of the worlds of politics and miners' trade unionism. Sadly, the rousing words are lost to us - this short film item is from silent newsreel Topical Budget, one of three major newsreels of the era.
