AN exhibition of mining memorabilia will help launch a banner project.
The Crookhall Foundation Banner Partnership has been awarded a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to celebrate the mining heritage of Crookhall and Delves Lane.
The project will involve the restoration of two lodge banners - one from the Thirties and the other from Fifties - and the creation of another banner.
The exhibit, by the Silksworth Mining Society, will be held at the Percy Gardens Community Hall, Delves Lane, behind the old Miners' Hall, near Consett, from 10am to 4pm, on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 12 and 13.
