Durham Miners' Hall

Redhills is the Grade II listed headquarters building of the Durham Miners' Association (DMA) in Durham, England. Officially called Miners' New Hall, it is known as Redhills from its location on Redhills Lane in the City of Durham. Redhills was designed by H. T. Gradon in Edwardian Baroque style and opened in 1915 to replace the former Miners' Hall building in North Road. Its debating chamber, made with Austrian oak in the style of a Methodist chapel, was known as the "Pitman's Parliament" and was featured in Historic England's 100 Places: Power, Protest & progress list. The main building housed the office of local Labour MP Mary Foy after her election in 2019. In May 2022, Labour leader Keir Starmer was accused of having broken COVID-19 pandemic legal restrictions at the venue the previous April, by drinking beer and eating takeaway food in a room there with other party members present. This became known as "Beergate".

Rushford Court

Rushford Court is a student residence and former hospital in Durham, England. It opened in 1853 as County Hospital, and closed as a hospital in 2010 after services were moved to Lanchester Road Hospital on the outskirts of the city. In 2018, after extensive work to demolish later additions to the hospital building and construct new accommodation blocks, Unite Students reopened the site as a privately operated hall for Durham University students under the name Rushford Court. In 2019–20, Durham University used the site as a temporary home for its John Snow College, between the college's move from Queen's Campus in Thornaby-on-Tees and the completion of its new buildings at Mount Oswald. In the 2024–25 academic year, the site is housing the College of St Hild and St Bede while the college's historic site on Leazes Road, Gilesgate is redeveloped, with work taking place to provide a new college hub building at Rushford Court. After the College of St Hild and St Bede returns to its permanent site, the university plans to found a new college on the Rushford Court site.
