EAST DURHAM HERITAGE GROUP 

The East Durham Heritage Group was formed to celebrate the Social, Industrial and Maritime heritage of East Durham and to pass on knowledge to all sections of the community, both young and old. Members of the EDHG work to collect, collate, record and display all types of information whether it be photographic, documentary or artefacts to ensure it is saved for the benefit of future generations.

Financial issues to consider:

  • Income has been volatile recently
Established: 14 years
