Bid to get Redhills in Durham World Heritage status which would be third for the North East

Durham miners' hall, Redhills, could be set to feature among the 900 global sites of UNESCO world heritage status - joining landmarks such as the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal.

If a bid by an international consortium is successful, Durham City could become one of the few places to have two World Heritage sites. Durham Cathedral and Castle already hold UNESCO status.

Redhills has been selected as one of eight 'workers assembly halls' to be put forward for the prestigious UNESCO world heritage status.
