Consett & District Heritage

May 28, 2010

The Consett and District Heritage Initiative held an open day at the Heritage Centre in Blackhill Park last Saturday. Over 300 persons attended the event to look at displays and meet local history societies.

The Initiative committee are raising funds to be able to set up a research room at the Heritage Centre and permanent displays about the history of the area. They have obtained the artifacts from the ‘Consett Steelworks Exhibition’ some of which used to be in the Shotley Bridge  Heritage and Tourist Information Centre, many years ago.

The Village Trust has joined the committee to promote the history of Shotley Bridge. Please let me know if you have any artifacts, records or photographs of the area that you are willing to donate or loan to the Initiative.

Litter on the B6278

April 17, 2010

A dozen volunteers turned up this morning to collect litter and rubbish from the country lanes in Northumberland. During the 2 hour operation a van and trailer load of litter, tyres, car crash parts, building materials, a dvd player, radio, computer disk drive and two plastic doll arms were collected.

Between Shotley Bridge and The Snods on the B6278, known locally as Burnmill Bank, we filled 12 bags with litter. Most of this being food and drink containers that had been discarded from vehicles over the last 12 months. That’s a bag of litter per month, on average, thrown away by people who just want to keep their vehicles clean but have no respect for the countryside.
