For anyone who missed Greg’s talk at the Newcastle Mining Institute in November there will be a slightly changed version, focusing on the role of the Blacketts in developing the lead industry in the 17th century, at the Hexham Local History Society’s first meeting of 2015. It’s at the Trinity Methodist Church Hall next Tuesday, 13th January, 7.30pm. Non-members are welcome at a cost of £2, or you can join the society on the night for a year at a cost of £10, which covers 8 talks, 3 newsletters and a copy of the annual journal ‘Hexham Historian’.
