Not up to the standard of @Makemstine Roger pics.....
Crookhall, Consett.
Loved seeing kids and families out with their sledges, reminded me of simpler times, when we actually used to play outside. The bungalows are all about 100 years old, and were built for the miners at Crookhall pot.. Many are un-modernised and as night falls you can see the smoke coming out of the chimneys, and can smell the coal burning. I love that smell.

I came across a 30's version early this morning, still moving if you just believe and ignore the shaky sets.

Still prefer the Alastair Sim classic though.
Alistair sims is a proper joy to watch, his transformation is the best of the lot I can’t help smiling just to think of it
