While, quite rightly, much of the attention over the past few days has been on the Durham Miners’ Gala, we’re also delighted to see the fantastic news that Redhills, home of the Pitman’s Parliament, where so many decisions were made that continue to shape our communities today, has officially been awarded Grade II* listed status.

The restoration of this remarkable building has been nothing short of outstanding, preserving an important part of our mining heritage for future generations.
It’s wonderful to see Redhills receiving the recognition it deserves.

A fitting tribute to a place that has played such a significant role in our history.

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us and supported us in both Trimdon Grange and at the Big Meeting in Durham yesterday.
A huge thank you to Harrogate Band who once again provided both an entertaining and poignant musical backdrop to our day.

It’s amazing to see many generations of our community come together to celebrate the heritage of our village and we’re already looking forward to next year.

Thanks also to Deacon Rachel Wilson from The Parish of the Upper Skerne who joined the banner in the village to bless us on our journey to Durham.

A wreath will be laid at the old Trimdon Village Cemetery, located heading out towards Hurworth Burn.

Members of the public are warmly invited to attend and pay their respects.
