AUTHOR and local historian Tom Hutchinson is appealing for photographs and picture postcards for a book to be published at the end of the year.
Mr Hutchinson is working on a book about Shildon as part of The People's History Series.
He wants to include images of the town that have never been published. He also hopes to find images of surrounding villages, including Heighington, Redworth, Royal Oak, Middridge, Eldon and Old Eldon.
Any subject from the last century will be considered, but the most sought after are pictures of people.
Anyone who can help is asked to contact Mr Hutchinson, who has compiled pictorial books about communities across County Durham, on 0191-410 4383.
All material will be returned and donors acknowledged.
