Burradon and Camperdown 
The Commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the 1860 Mining Disaster

The commemorative events are being supported by Find Your Talent through a heritage project with Burradon Primary School originally entitled ‘Just Imagine Burradon’. The work completed by the school children during this project will directly feed into the commemorative event in March.

We desperately require the assistance of former miners to recount their lives working at Burradon Colliery and to visit the school and work with Paul Allan and the school children. Photographs of the village would also be appreciated to supplement the photographs in the village albums and the website (the photographs will be copied and returned immediately). Former miners wishing to participate or residents with photographs are requested to contact Ms Hunter, Headmistress at Burradon Primary School on 2008345.
