Meet at Civic Centre, Ceremonial Way. Finish at Newcastle Castle.
The walk will focus on the impact the General Strike 1926 had on Newcastle and the North East a hundred years ago this week. Hear how local Trade Unionists supported the miners, who had been locked-out of their collieries, because they would not accept cuts in wages and increases in working hours.
