Editorial
We hope that readers will like our second Local History Journal, and wish to take this opportunity of thanking everyone who purchased a copy of our first issue. Members of the Group are working on items for Number 3 and we are always glad to receive contributions to future editions in the form of articles, letters, notes, and illustrations – old photographs are especially welcome, as are ideas for special items.
WHO CARES ABOUT LOCAL HISTORY?
We think that it is part of our heritage.
Gordon Cullingham, Chairman.
