Today is the Miners Gals (“Big Meeting”) in Durham
Again this year there will be no Eden Colliery Banner marched in
One day it would be wonderful to see a reproduced banner be produced, the current ones are too fragile to be marched
Cost and “storage” are issues but would it not make a great project for all ages to get involved in
What are your thoughts?
What are your memories of the Eden Colliery Banners
Anniversary of the final closure is 18th July (closure of Stoney Heap was 18th July 1980)
