The documentary research project will be exploring the often overlooked social history of the men and women who shaped the North Pennines.
This first session will focus on the cultural history of Nenthead Village as it celebrates its 200th anniversary since it was planned by the London Lead Company in 1825. We will have access to the Alston Moor Historical Society Archive as well as online resources such as census reports and historical newspaper reports.
This session follows on from the ‘Introduction to archives workshops’ held in 2024, but anyone interested in historical research skills and social history is welcome. No prior experience is necessary as full support will be offered in finding and navigating historical resources.
