PHOTOS OF HOUGHTON FOLK

The Purvis family of Houghton-le-Spring

These are Jim Moran's Great-Great-Grandparents and their 12 children, including his Great-Grandmother, taken at the turn of the century. Despite appearances, they weren't wealthy. Most of the lads worked down Houghton pit. Copyright © Books of the North 2000 - 2009.
