It has been a great pleasure, since my election as ward Councillor, to find out more about the Herrington Heritage Society and become, along with Robert, a regular at their monthly meetings. The talks, which are the main part of the evening, have so far been on subjects as varied as Carlisle Cathedral, the twin resorts, (Roker and Seaburn), with another just last week on cigarette cards from Colin Orr. The meetings are held in Middle Herrington Methodist Church, Crow Lane and are very well supported.

The talk on the twin resorts was particularly significant as it gave a detailed history of our coastal area. Indeed on viewing the slides many people were left with the sad conclusion that facilities, especially at Seaburn, were so much better and varied in the 1960's than they are now.
