April 23, 2024Summer Bedding in Tubs
June 7, 2023Last Saturday morning was summer bedding planting day. Twenty Village Trust volunteers planted the tubs with deep blue Salvias and orange, red & yellow Begonias. With the sunny outlook it should not be long before the plants are in full bloom, provided they are well watered!
Thank you to all who helped and the five volunteers who worked for 3 days earlier that week in preparing and relocating 10 new tubs to replace those that were starting to fall apart. Without the much appreciated offer from the Crown & Crossed Swords for the use of its garage and electical facilities the task would have been much more difficult.
Annual Litter Pick
March 25, 2023A dozen volunteers from the Village Trust scoured the conservation area for litter this morning and managed to find plenty to collect. Though there appeared to be less litter than last year.

December 7, 2022This picture has been provided by a subscriber who want know if anyone had information about the people in the photo, which was taken during the 1906/7 season. The location looks to be the recreation field [now Riverside housing estate] behind the Crown & Crossed Swords at the bottom of Church Bank.
Remembrance Sunday
October 31, 2021There will be a short Act of Remembrance in St. Cuthbert’s Church, Church Bank on Sunday 14th November.
A warm invitation to any to gather at 10.50am in church, with a two minute silence at 11am.
The regular Eucharist will move to the earlier time of 9.30am on Remembrance Sunday.
All are welcome.
There will also be an Act of Remembrance at 3pm at the Memorial Cottages on Front Street.
This year is also the Centenary of the Cottages, which were erected in memory of men from the neighbourhood who fell in the First World War.
The Shotley Bridge War Memorial Cottages Trust took it in hand to save the buildings and in 1992 the cottages were refurbished.
