Assembly

At 3pm on Saturday 29th October 2016, a community based choir - Dale Singers - based in the village of Allendale (Northumberland), assembled along with an audience, on the Allenheads Village Green situated above an old mine shaft, to perform a repertoire of songs. Accessed from the British Library archives, the song lyrics performed were written in the 19th century as critical commentaries of Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, parliamentarian, owner of the Allenheads mines, and much of the surrounding land.
