Under The Fields of Heaton – Spinney & Heaton Park

GREG was delighted to represent North Heaton ward at the recent “Under the Fields of Heaton” event to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the recovery of the bodies of the men and boys killed in the 1815 Heaton mine disaster, for which the Spinney acts as a memorial.

200th Under the Fields of Heaton Event
We would like to thank the organiser Ken Patterson, artists, singers and musicians, and the local schoolchildren who took part in a poignant and moving performance involving planting of snowdrops and placing of lanterns both at the Spinney and at King John’s Palace at Heaton Park, and we were very pleased to be able to support this local history project from North Heaton ward committee funds.
