Grim up North ?
Ian AyrisTyne and Wear County Industrial Archaeologist
Historic Environment Manager, Newcastle City Council
I’ve walked at night thru Sheffield lanesT’was the same as being in HellWhere furnaces thrust out tongues of fireAnd roared like wind on the fellAnd I’ve shovelled coals in the Barnsley pitsWith muck up to m’kneeFrom Sheffield, Barnsley, RotherhamGood Lord deliver me.
And as I sit by the fire at nightI laugh and shout with gleeFrom Hull, Halifax and HellGood Lord deliver me.
