Description

Village guides are a unique new series of guides designed for the iPhone and iPad. They allow both the casual visitor and the long-time resident to have a fascinating insight into the past by telling the story of villages through text, audio and superb archive photographs.

Set in the North-East of England, they bring the region’s particular mix of industrial and medieval past to light in a way that traditional guidebooks cannot match. They also have very useful information for the visitor such as listing where to park or finding out where the nearest cash-point is. Plus you can also find out somewhere great to eat.

This village guide covers Red Row, describing twenty-three fascinating buildings or sites to go and look at. It has over sixty-five photographs and illustrations, many of which are archive prints that are seldom seen and the story behind each site is available in twenty-three unique recordings to listen to and enjoy as you walk around and explore.

• Find out about how Red Row got started.
• Learn about the Grey family’s influence in the area.
• Explore the sites of many of the buildings that have disappeared.
• Unearth old drinking spots.
• Read the story of the The Red Row Electric Picture Palace.
• Spot signs that show where there used to be a bank.
• Identify where Red Row’s schools were.
• Hear the story of a dramatic Second World War air-crash above the village.
• Come right up to date and read about the beginnings of open cast mining in the area and see a dramatic photo of old mine-workings exposed to the light for the first time as the ground is torn away.
