Grant Award From The John Haswell Memorial Trust
Grant Support For Sunniside & District
Local History Society
On behalf of the Officials and Members
of the Society, Chairman Colin Douglas
announced this week that a grant of
£384 had been received from ‘The John
Haswell Memorial Trust’.
The money is for the purchase of
approved items of hi-tech equipment, to be used initially in the
making of a DVD about the waggonways
from the River Tyne to Pontop Pike
beginning at the Tanfield waggonway,
which dated back five centuries for the
transportation of coal.
The Society is extremely grateful to
the Memorial Trust which is a part of
Gateshead Voluntary Organisations
Council (GVOC) and supported by the
Metrocentre. Their activities are
proving to be very popular with the
local community.
