A Saxon centre of religion Easington has panoramic views to the north south and east which was an important factor in more troubled times. Easington has long been the 'capital' of East Durham, though it was eventually dwarfed in size by the new towns of Seaham Harbour (1828) and Peterlee (1948). The great change for the Easington village area came with the construction of Easington Colliery at the start of the 20th. Century. Today Easington is a delightful village reeking with atmosphere and history.

The Price Of Coal
Blood, Sweat and Tears

A lonely vigal through the night
A loved one in the depths below
Each turn of the wheel a hope
Then at dawn, despair
Heartbreak and a lonely life
