A Celebration Of Iconic People/places in and around Newton Aycliffe
A Celebration Of Iconic People/places in and around Newton Aycliffe - Project
Project overview
The school will use the funding to celebrate the Aycliffe Angels - heroic women working in a munitions factory in World War II. An artist will work with the community to create a mosaic and older people will share stories with younger people at intergenerational gatherings. Visits to a local museum and the remains of the factory will celebrate the transport of the time. The project will culminate in a tea party with people dressed in costume from the era, where a plaque and mosaic will be unveiled.
