one Day A Reproduction of the Eden Colliery Banner?

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)

Barry Hill photographed next to one of the Eden Colliery Banners held at St Ives Church this was taken on a Heritage Open Day at the Church Sept 2023
