Jonathan Ruffer in Conversation with Michael Portillo

📽️ In October 2021 we opened the Spanish Gallery, the UK's first gallery dedicated to the art and culture of the Spanish Golden Age. To celebrate the occasion, we invited Michael Portillo to create a short film exploring Bishop Auckland's remarkable connection with Golden Age Spanish Art.

It’s a remarkable story.

Thank you so so much for believing in the North East and preserving its heritage while creating employment , hope and pride in this community. Bishop Auckland was such a lovely place and the market place very special for all the community but through lack of investment and down right neglect it was oppressed. Now there's a hope. Come on Council....let's see serious effort to reinvest in the high street.Raby is working hard to create a tourist environment bringing money in to the coffers. Who else can be harnessed?

“When I think of Seville I think of Bishop Auckland “. Ten words that have never been strung together ever before. Go Bish 👍
