MEMORIES of a former north Durham mining community have been recalled in a new photo book.
Members of Leadgate Historical Association have released 40 photographs of the former mining community, near Consett, dating from the 1890s to the 1970s. The photographs include scenes of the former Eden colliery.
It is the first time the association has published a book and only a limited number of copies are available at Consett Civic Hall.
Association president and Leadgate district councillor, Bill Stockdale, said he hoped the booklet would be of interest to the whole community.
The booklet costs £1.99 and can also be purchased from Mr Stockdale, who can be contacted on (01207) 502678.
