PEOPLE have been asked to share their memories of Newcastle’s Bigg Market as part of a film project aimed at preserving the heritage of the city.
NE1 Ltd Needs, the Business Improvement District company for Newcastle, would like to hear from anyone with interesting stories to tell about a visit to the Bigg Market Zoo, dancing at Balmbras, getting married at the old Town Hall or meeting friends for coffee at Pumphreys.
As part of the Heritage Lottery Funded restoration of the Bigg Market – the project team at NE1 Ltd have commissioned Northern Stars Production to produce a people’s history of the Bigg Market in film.
To make this possible, NE1 is calling on the public to come forward with their memories, memorabilia and anecdotes about the Bigg Market and the local area, however small.
The team at Northern Stars are interested in hearing from anyone who has any interesting stories, quirky memories, photos or pictures.
Anyone who has anything to contribute to the film should contact NE1 on admin@newcastlene1ltd.com.
