Local History Courses

The Durham Miner Project developed three Local History Course which were offered at venues throughout the County. Everyone was welcome to participate and best of all, it was free! The courses were self guided although the Durham Miner Project Team was close at hand to offer support if required. Each course lasted approximately six weeks.
