On Watching Vera
I’ve been watching the British detective drama “Vera” and it has been bringing back a lot of memories. My home county is Lancashire, but there is a lot in common both in the moorland and coastal landscapes, the coal industry, the dialect/accent and the working-class housing. Probably also the upper-class housing too, but I don’t know about that.[1]
The headquarters are in the big port of Newcastle but a lot of the action is in the county of Northumberland. The moorlands have a bleak beauty, it’s hard to believe that the total population of the island is so much greater than is apparent from the long, empty landscapes.
The Geordie accent and dialect are a little different from Lancashire. I sometimes had to translate for my Canadian-born wife when we first visited, though she could understand Lanky very well. In both places, in small towns, people still call each other “luv” and “pet”. And a loved one can be a “canny hinny”.
I first got to know Northumberland when my sister went to teacher training college in Alnwick. She lived in the castle, which was rented out by the owner; one wing for army barracks, another for the college residences and the central one for the Duke and family. The Percy’s came across with William the Conqueror and have lorded it over the peasants ever since, being prominent in things like the Wars of the Roses and only recently got kicked out of the House of Lords.
I also had a couple of Northumberland miners stay in my place during the 1972 miners’ strike. They were big men, conditions had improved somewhat since my grandfather was a miner on the East Lancashire coal field. He was only 4’6” and still had to bend down to work in the four-foot seams with pick and shovel.
The old brick row housing in the show is just like the first three houses I lived in, growing up, some with the same pre-car cobbled streets, though there’s not many of those left now in either place.
I also have several records of Northumberland folk music. Louis Killen’s “Along the Coaly Tyne” and a couple each from Kathryn Tickell who plays the Northumberland small pipes, a bellows-operated bagpipe, more similar to the Irish pipes than the familiar Scottish great pipes blown by a mouth pipe. And Rachel Unthanks who sings mostly traditional songs.

BTW, the name derives not from the building's colour (obviously!), but a prominent merchant who leased apartments there in the 1600s.

When the area was neglected, the Black Gate & the Castle were divided by a Victorian railway viaduct (carrying the east coast main line). This is the view from under its arches https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/55073112395/in/photostream/lightbox/
To be fair, at that period the area was a slum and the old fortifications left to rack and ruin.

Be prepared for a *lot* of steep flights of stone steps, especially if you intend to wind your way through the levels to the roof of the keep (very tiring but amazing views, sadly not good if you have mobility problems though - Medieval builers didn't factor that in)

Oh dear.
I suppose we'll have to do a critical analysis.
The chief flaw is obvious: no growth on a finite planet.
But we need to critically analyse the methodology and indicate a degrowth alternative.
Weve done a lot on the latter before, of course.
