Hey! So Glad You're Here.

Based in the new restored Elephant Tea House at the junction between Fawcett Street and High Street West, Living History North East (LHNE) is the centre for oral history.
 

Oral history is the recording of people's memories, experiences and opinions. It is:
 

• A living history of everyone's unique life experiences.

• An opportunity for those people who have been 'hidden from history' to have their voice heard.

• A rare chance to talk about and record history face-to-face

• A source of new insights and perspectives that may challenge our view of the past.

LHNE promotes the collection, preservation and use of recorded memories and plays a role in facilitating and developing the use of oral history.
