Welcome Bonny Lads and Lasses,

Thank you for picking up your free Consett Magazine.

In this edition we take another look at the lives of the people making a difference in Consett through the lens of the Consett Corona Photo Project. The project is still going strong documenting life in DH8 throughout the pandemic and beyond – this month the project caught up with a taxi driver who has been doing the utmost to keep passengers safe, a dance teacher performing classes online, the North East Ambulance Service’s Hazardous Area Response Team (HART), and the ladies from the congregation of St.John’s Church in Snods Edge; among other people doing extraordinary things within our community. If you’d like to get involved in the project, turn to the bottom of page five to get in contact with the Corona Photo project team.

Remember to check out all of the advertisers for quality local products and services, without these wonderful local advertisers the free Consett Magazine simply would not be possible.

This month’s front cover is an aerial shot from “Durham Drone Dude” who sent in this spectacular image of Ebchester from a height of 80 metres – a big thanks for submitting this unique perspective. If you’d like to see your photograph, illustration, or art on the front cover – go ahead and give us a call on 01207 438 292 or email us on editor@consettmagazine.com.

Have a wonderful November Consett,

Barry Kirkham, Marco Elsy
and everyone who makes the Consett Magazine possible every month.

Thank you!
