RESIDENTS of an east Durham village had a chance to step down memory lane at an exhibition of old photographs.
The one-day event was organised by Shotton Colliery History Group and included a local interest video and a display of Age Concern's React, Recall and Activities Library.
Walter Spink, history group member, said: "This is a good opportunity for local residents to come along and see some of the village's history.
"We hope to build upon this event and eventually visit local residential care homes and schools to share some of these memories."
The group was formed in September last year, after Age Concern supported a discussion group where older residents shared reminiscences about village life 50 years ago.
The group decided to stage an exhibition of old photographs and slides for the community, especially children and care home residents
