Houghton Heritage Society
Добавлен 8 авг 2012
Houghton-le-Spring Heritage Society was formed to promote, share and preserve the local history of the Houghton-le-Spring district. The Society uses the Internet to share aspects of Houghton-le-Spring's heritage which otherwise would not be accessible to the public, including those in the town's boundaries (residents) and those beyond (descendants and expatriates).
Houghton Heritage Society actively records current aspects of Houghton which will be of interest in the future, preserves and/or reintroduces local traditions and customs, and supports schools and educational establishments in the Houghton district with the promotion of our local heritage.
