Mining exhibition in New Year
3:01pm Tuesday 25th November 2008
THE rise and fall of County Durham’s mining heritage is to be chronicled in a museum exhibition.
The coal industry left its mark on the generations of people whose lives became part of their local collieries and on the landscape where they were sited.
Locomotion: The National Railway Museum at Shildon, in County Durham, will host an exhibition called Changing Landscapes in the New Year.
The exhibition of documentary photographs from the National Coal Mining Museum for England and English Heritage will be on display from Monday January 12 to Saturday February 28.
It seeks to document selected collieries from their heyday to their eventual demise and show the visual impact that Britain’s industrial heritage has left behind.
Entry and parking at Locomotion is free and the opening hours are 10am to 4pm Monday to Sunday.
