A seaside town in the north of England has been left deserted following the decline of its thriving coal mining industry.
Horden, in County Durham, was once home to Horden Colliery, which broke records for its productivity in years gone by and employed thousands of people from the area.
The town’s proud and long-time mining history gained fame across Europe, after tireless workers set a record for the most coal mined in a single day, extracting 6,758 tonnes on May 9, 1930.
