About Fencing in Spennymoor

Spennymoor in County Durham grew rapidly through the 19th century as coal mines multiplied in and around the town, prompting the newly formed local board of health to build offices in a market hall on the High Street, completed in 1870, that today houses the Durham Mining Museum's collection of artefacts, models and a simulated underground coalface. The town also holds an unusually strong claim to artistic heritage through the Pitman's Academy, an art school associated with Spennymoor that produced the celebrated painter Norman Cornish, who began work as a coal miner at just 14 years old and continued mining for more than thirty years before becoming a full time artist in 1966. His work, alongside that of the wider Spennymoor Settlement painting group, forms part of a broader tradition of mining art across the north east that also includes the Ashington Group in Northumberland, and visitors can still follow the Norman Cornish Art Trail through the town today.
