"Stanley’s Football Wish" Poem - South Stanley Junior School
This poem was created by Jamie, Carter and Lewis, Year 6 pupils from South Stanley Junior School as part of our 'Celebrating Stanley' project. The pupils were inspired by the historic FA Cup match where West Stanley FC faced Tottenham Hotspur before a crowd of 35,000, capturing the towns pride, excitement and hope. Though Stanley didn't win, the moment lives on, ending with a modern wish for the town to have a football stadium that reflects its deep love of the game.

Playing in the Red Dust - Moorside Primary School
This poem was created by Corben, Roxi, Lacey, Oscar, Leandra, and Millie from Moorside Primary School. It reflects their take on the red dust that once covered Consett — the cloud of iron oxide emitted during the Steelworks’ production because of this red clouds of dust would hang over the town, settling on cars and clothes hung out to dry, a sight captured in many photos of Consett from that time.
