Remscheid – April 1985 Were You There?
At the end of the Miners strike, in March 1985, 35 young people from the old Wansbeck and Blyth Valley Council areas were invited to take a holiday in the City of Remscheid, in Germany.
The youngsters stayed with families in Remscheid and spent an enjoyable week seeing the sights and attending organised activities.
