The Replica Banner was delivered on Friday 15 June 2007 and is even better than we expected!

It was paraded round the village on Wednesday 11th July, starting at 6.45pm at the Crescent at Deaf Hill, going past the pit and up to the Aged Miners Homes at Tobin Street, then down Station Road, up past Harper’s corner, round Laurel Crescent, back up Rodwell Street and back to St Paul’s church where the Rev Michael Gobbett  blessed the banner.


** It is the wish of Mr. & Mrs. Atherton
that the original Deaf Hill Banner of 1892  be on permanent display at the Trimdon Station Community Centre formally the Deaf Hill Miners Welfare Hall. This permanent display will allow anyone both young and old to call at the Centre to view the banner at anytime. We currently have two other Deaf Hill banners at the Centre which can also be viewed at anytime.

The previous Deaf Hill banner was turned around with the help of Sean Wainwright, Robert Iddon, Sharon Young and Neil Young.
It now shows Deaf Hill lodge and is on show in the ball room.
No1 & 2 shafts were sunk in 1877 but later laid in. Re-opened in 1885, No.3 shaft sunk in 1891. The workings flooded in 1919. Surface operations combined with Wingate by a rail link in 1955. Exhaustion of economic reserves led to closure on 24th February 1967.
This DMA banner dates from the 1930s and is kept at the Deaf Hill Welfare Hall.

The meetings are held each month at Trimdon Station Community Centre (welfare hall) please come along and give your support for the banner and all future events.
