And today we look back on the crusade which happened 90 years ago this year, with 200 North East campaigners walking to London to protest about their right to work.
Men from South Tyneside and some with Wearside links walked to Chester-le-Street before heading south through Ferryhill and Darlington.
Today, we begin our memory of the 1936 crusade with the first of a two-part photo gallery tribute to the heroic campaigners, with the second instalment next week.
