We will cover a variety of subjects all linked to aspects of Stanley and North Durham and these can be found by clicking on the relevant links. Subjects you will be able to find out about include early history, the development of local place names and settlements, family names and history, coal mining and industry, leisure and entertainment, and religion.

We are particularly interested in recording people's past memories of living in Stanley and North Durham, so that future generations will be able to read about a way of life that is rapidly vanishing - and in some cases has already vanished.
