What's Coming Up in July

On the 6^th of July, part two and the final in the current series of, In the Shadow of Mount Sugarloaf by Benita Parker from the West Wallsend District Heritage Group. In this episode Benita explores the pioneering efforts that shaped the town, the labour strikes that marked its history, and the challenges that the community faced as it grew.

On the 13^th of July another podcast in our Felonious Females series. Mel Woodford tells the story of two teenage girls, Rebecca Markham and Maria Beavis. They were transported to New South Wales as petty criminals but left behind descendants, communities, and memories that still echo nearly two centuries later.

On the 20^th of July, in our Notable Novocastrians series, Dr Jude Conway recounts the life of Zell Meehan, Secretary to eight Lord Mayors of Newcastle. We’ll hear of the battle she faced in retaining her job after marrying and the attitudes towards women in the 1950s and since.
