CREATIONS by more than 20 artists will celebrate a historic mining landscape.

- TONY HENDERSON

The artists were inspired by a day's outing above and below ground at the Nenthead Mines complex, which extends for 1,730acres on the borders of Northumberland, County Durham and Cumbria.

The visit included a descent into the site's Carrs Mine and an overground nature walk to examine the geology, flora and fauna.

Most of site near Alston is designated as a scheduled Ancient Monument.

The work of the artists will feature in an exhibition, titled Inspired, in the former barracks building at the Nenthead site which provided accommodation for miners.

The free exhibition this weekend, October 4-5, will be open from 10am-4pm
