Dr Beneš visited Durham on Sunday 22nd November 1942, at the invitation of @DurhamMiners. On his way he made several stops, first calling at Chester Moor & South Pelaw Aged Miners' Homes, where men straight from the pit had gathered to receive him. @CzechLondon#ThePathtoLidice

A big thank you to our Local Councillor Cheryl Gerrard @cheryl_gerrard, for taking time to share #UKParliamentWeek with 11th Stoke Brownies, Temple Street and 1st Fenton Rainbows Fenton Park Methodist Church @fentonparkchurc.
Irreparable damage has been done to our city centre by poverty, people with no cash in their pocket, bad planning/no investment and worst of all the local press
This is the consequence
The city centre isn’t and doesn’t need to be a “no go zone” but the status quo can’t go on
Received delivery of the special #Fenton#RemembranceSunday souvenir programmes today. Beautiful 8 page booklets created to celebrate the war monument centenary #rededication service. Feature the order of service, description of the 1922 unveiling & fab images @SoTCityCouncil
Complementing Fenton's Remembrance Service this year, a special centenary souvenir programme, which will be available on the day and is completely free - any donations will be most appreciated and forwarded to @TempleStFenton Foodbank @alanjgerrard@cheryl_gerrard@FentonGlennLP
