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".
