Event - Local History Fair ar Creswell Crags (1st October)

Many thanks to everyone who attended the Local Heritage Fair at Creswell Crags today.  The event was yet again a great success and lots of people attended.


It was nice to see some of the people who read the blog and to be able to put faces to you all - hope you're enjoying this beautiful autumnal day (which I believe is meant to set history as the hottest October day ever recorded)

One sad piece of news is that Shireoaks History Society will be ceasing their operations at the end of year due to lack of people attending meetings, this is happening to a lot of societies so if you can please go and visit you local history society's next meeting it may keep them going.
