A HERITAGE project is asking residents to come forward and share their stories in celebration of a town’s history.
The community appeal is urging people to share their recollections and dig out any old film and video footage they may have of the area so that it can be added to the region’s film archive and preserved for future generations.
Two drop-in events will take place on Wednesday, July 10, from 2pm to 3pm and Saturday, July 13, from 11am to 12.30pm, at Bishop Auckland Town Hall.
They will offer people the chance to record their memories and donate any amateur films and videos.
The sessions have been organised by Bishop Auckland Heritage Action Zone, Bishop FM, Bishop Auckland Civic Society and the North East Film Archive.
The Heritage Action Zone works in partnership with Durham County Council and the Brighter Bishop Auckland Regeneration Partnership.
The recorded memories will feature in an hour-long radio programme to be broadcast on Bishop FM in September.
