The Leadhills Reading Society is actually Britain's oldest subscription library having been founded…read morein 1741 in the Leadhills Miners Library, effectively though this is now a museum containing a number of artifacts pertinent to the areas historic industrial past including samples of the mineral wealth and some miscellaneous local artifacts. Being a library there are books, however these are not for loan and are available only to view on the shelf as it were. Amusingly there are notices on the shelves warning against touching the books, which for a library carries a certain irony! The library is defintely worth a look though, particularly if you have an interest in local history and the staff are on hand with a wealth of knowledge for those with specific questions. Entry is only £1 which is about the minimum I think anybody would donate to other museums which may achieve greater funding from elsewhere. Sadly if this local museum doesn't attain a greater footfall it's likely to be forced to close. http://www.miners-library.fsnet.co.uk/

Always worth a visit and free to see. Best seen by walking or on one of the many trams.read more

Wow! This is an absolutely fantastic idea and I would recommend it to all curry fans! The curry…read moretrain is a unique experience run by The Valley Restaurant in Corbridge where you are escorted from Newcastle Central Station to Corbridge,placing your order en route so your food is pretty much ready for you when you arrive! Definitely worth getting a group of you together as you get a discounted price of £36.50 per person (includes train travel and 4 course meal). This might seem quite pricey seeing as it doesn't include drinks but worth every penny for the quantity and quality of the food and the amazing service! I went last year as part of my monthly curry club so we were in a group of 12. Our escort was easy to spot dressed in fantastic 'Raj' Indian attire adding to the authenticity of the journey! As you arrive in Corbridge the restaurant is literally accessed from the platform. The food was ample and absolutely delicious....never before had this group of greedy curry fans been defeated by the plethora of nans,rice and sides. That said we all have a separate dessert stomach and took advantage of the many ice creams on offer. On our return journey home we were a quiet bunch....needless to say we had been adequately fed and were enjoying our temporary food coma's!
