Calling all former workers and residents of Prestongrange!

We are launching an appeal for members of the public to come forward who remember living or working at Prestongrange or who recall visiting family members at work or in homes at Prestongrange. We hope to record oral reminiscences in informal interviews which will be added to the museum’s audio tour and used to bring the site and its industrial past to life.  To find out more, click here.

We'd love to meet as many people as possible who can tell interesting stories about the site.  It's such a quite and tranquil place now we hope to capture a sense of it's atmosphere when it was a bustling hive of industry.  Hearing from miners and brick workers would be great but so would stories from people involved in office or support roles.  Families lived around the site so stories of playing or visiting would me much appreciated too.  We urge anyone with the slightest connection to come forward with help!!

If you’d like to be involved in this exciting project or would like more information please get in touch.
