Following the Great War "Tribute" medals were issued by the Miners' Association. These were 26 mm in diameter and hallmarked 'Birmingham 1920'. The obverse was inscribed "Brancepeth Nos. 1 & 2 & Sunnybrow Miners Memorial Medal" and has an image of the Miners Association Headquarters in Durham City. The reverse was inscribed "Presented by his fellow workmen in honour of (name) who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Great War 1914-1918."
