CORBRIDGE historian David Waugh will be doing what he does best this weekend when he takes fellow villagers down memory lane.

During a three-day exhibition in Church Cottage, on Hill Street, they will be able to peruse nigh-on 40 display boards that between them bring to life everything from the floods that have peppered local history to the village’s architecture, old and new, to social occasions that include school photographs and Stagshaw Fair.

“Twelve of the boards are to do with the floods that have occurred in Corbridge and the Tyne Valley since 1771, and that includes eye-witness accounts,” said David.

“We had a marvellous talk last Thursday at the Corbridge Village Trust meeting by a man who had worked on repairing the landslip at Farnley Scar.”

The History of Corbridge exhibition will be open from 10am to 5pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 1pm till 4pm on Sunday.
