I have gone here a few times. Was telling staff about it's history in 70s. Do any board members have photos with background for steel works and brick works to show its history or similar. F so can they be put on here to allow the current owners to relate to my memories.
A story I heard many years ago and still makes me laugh. Years ago when the chap named 'Dinky' Derick was about, he got over the wall at the Consett Iron steelworks to pinch some scrap to sell for drink. It was dark and he saw this figure who he thought was a security guard and ran for his life over the wall and away being half sozzled. It turned out that what he actually saw was the statue of Charlie Palmer ! How true that is I don't know!
