A PARK that underwent a £1m revamp last year has changed its name again.
Consett Heritage Park was restored after its owners, Derwentside District Council, won the cash from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Derwentside District Council has agreed to go back to the site's original name, Blackhill and Consett Park. The land, once owned by Consett Iron Works, was given to the people of Blackhill and Consett in the late 1800s.
And the Friends of the Park have produced a calendar to commemorate the opening of the site last July. Around 10,000 people attended a festival of theatre, dance and music to mark the revamp. The calendar, priced £3.50, contains shots of the celebrations, plus pictures of the fountain and bandstand. To buy a copy contact (01207) 218019.
