Durham Miners’ Hall and Grounds stand at the head of Flass Street, west of the city centre. With the demise of coal mining the need for such large administrative premises no longer exists and the building is shared with other organisations. Two white statues can be seen inside; two others, also on plinths, stand out of sight. They are of individuals prominent in the history of the mine working trade unions; the four of them apparently stood in niches on the frontage of an earlier building.
