Our Journal — Published Since 1935
The Society’s Journal has published original research on Teesdale’s history for nearly a century.
Our latest issue celebrates Teesdale’s rich past and lively characters: a tribute to William (Bill) F. Heyes; a look at the life of Robert Walton Bainbridge; Victorian photographers capturing Barnard Castle in all its glory; the remarkable John Binks – lead miner and botanist of Upper Teesdale; the hidden stories of Ambrose Edwards’ house; and a roundup of the Society’s busy 2024 and 2025 years.
