One hundred years of Teesdale history will be saved for future generations, thanks to a lottery grant.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has awarded more than £35,000 to create a digital archive of the Teesdale Mercury from 1854 to 1954.
The Teesdale Mercury is steeped in history and was founded in 1854 in Barnard Castle, where it’s still published today. It is one of the oldest surviving, local, independently run newspapers in the country, and is widely thought of as one of the most important historical records of Teesdale life.
