Discover Beighton

Discover Beighton was a 1 year HLF funded community heritage project in Beighton, a former mining village in South Yorkshire. The project trained and employed local people as oral history interviewers and transcribers. The ‘history’ of the area became a Beighton website, book and award-winning plasticine animation made by local children. iscovering Beighton was part of ‘Full Circle’, a two and a half year capacity building project that used a creative approch to heritage and the environment. Funded by Objective 1, with additional funding from Arts Council England, the three themes of Full Circle – Discover Beighton (Heritage), Growing Space (Environment) and Time Works (Public Art) – met or exceeded all 17 of the projects targets, generating 5,758 attendances at project activities, 10 temporary jobs for local people, 220 events/workshops/training sessions and over 100 media articles.
