The Bellingham Heritage Centre preserves and displays the heritage of the North Tyne and Redewater area of Northumberland, England. Relics and photographs cover all aspects of local history and tradition in the area. Special exhibitions include: The Border Counties Railway 1862-1958 comprised 42 miles of track from Hexham on the River Tyne to Riccarton, across the Scottish border, and had a marked impact on life in a previously remote area.
A Mining Heritage display features the relics and memories of the coal mines, iron works and quarries that were once busy industrial features in what is now largely a peaceful rural landscape. The Photographs of W P Collier show a definitive picture of rural life in Northumberland between the two World Wars. The Border Reivers display provides a fascinating insight into the robbery and violence that was rife in sixteenth century Border life.
