About
March your way to the top of our 'ramp of reform', the last resting place of a mining communities' proudest possession - the pit banner.
Imagine how these miners felt striding together, their banner waving in the wind as they proudly carried it aloft. The banner was a powerful symbol of their unity and strength, binding them together as they pursued workers' rights and holding them fast in times of grief and strife.
Watch our film to find out more about banner restoration at Woodhorn.
