Local History Hub West Northumberland

  • The West Northumberland Local History Hub brings together schools, heritage organisations and community partners to support high-quality, place-based history across the western part of the county. The hub helps children and young people explore the people, places and stories that have shaped West Northumberland, from its rural landscapes and market towns to its border history and local communities.

    Through curriculum support, partnership working and local storytelling, the hub makes it easier for schools and communities to work together and ensure that local history is meaningful, accessible and valued across the area.
