Information Sheets

We have now produced a number of Information Sheets on a wide range of local topics. Copies are available here, but please note:

• most of this information has now been incorporated into the series of booklets published in autumn 2003 - along with hundreds of old photographs
• the Information Sheets available here were "work in progress"; none are claimed to be definitive or completely accurate
• they are intended to prompt readers in our search to gather as much information as possible; each one asks you if you can add or correct anything
