Just wanted to wish everyone who has visited the website over the past year, a very Merry Christmas!
It feels like the first full year for a while when we haven’t had to think about the Covid pandemic too much. So, I hope this is true for you and yours, and that you’ve managed to remain healthy throughout the year.
We are pleased to announce that the Breamish Hall Heritage Project that began in October 2021 has completed successfully! We’ve managed to gather some fascinating history about the village hall in Powburn, supported with several new documents and photographs. To celebrate the conclusion, we’d like to share our findings at a Coffee Morning to be held – of course – in the Breamish Hall.
Looking up in the Breamish Valley never fails to reward: herons, geese, scintillating sunsets. What’s not to enjoy? And this time of the year, with the late autumn crispness, the December ‘cold moon’ is stunning. Have you taken the time to look up?
The Breamish Hall Heritage Project that began in October 2021 is coming to its end. Graham Williamson and May Wilson have collected together a number of images and documents that help to record a history of the Breamish Hall in Powburn. However, there are two events for which we have no suitable images/photos:
