A HERITAGE group is appealing for former residents of a colliery village to help celebrate its history with an exhibition and reunion weekend.
Members of Whitworth Heritage Group are organising the celebration for former residents of Page Bank, near Spennymoor, to be held on July 30 and 31.
There will be an exhibition recording the history of the village, the bulk of which no longer exists, in a marquee in the grounds of Whitworth Hall County Park.
The weekend will focus on life in the 1940s to coincide with celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.
Anyone who can help organisers by lending photographs or memorabilia is asked to take items to Whitworth Church on Tuesday, from 6.30pm to 8pm, or call Verna McAneny on (01388) 817824
