At the beginning of August the summer bedding in the tubs and barrier baskets were looking very colourful.
Also two new seats have been put in the ‘triangle’ to replace the deteriorating wooden seats. The bespoke design of the new seats commemorate the lives lost in the First World War and the industrial past of Shotley Bridge. They were paid for with the remaining S106 monies from the Story Homes housing development at the hospital.
The next Open Meeting of the Trust is to be held on Tuesday 8th October at 7.30pm. Members, guests and residents all welcome.
For the fifth year running, the Trust is taking part in the Heritage Open Days Festival, over the next two weekends.
Volunteers from the Trust’s Heritage Group will be showing visitors around some of the buildings and sites in the village where new ‘QR’ Plaques are being installed and explaining the history of each.
The Trust will again be displaying old photos of Shotley Bridge at this exhibition next week …
The next meeting of the Trust will be on Tuesday 9th April.
Members and residents all welcome.
