Local historical landscapes

28/5/2015

A summer’s evening talk by David Lovelace. Monday June 15, 7.30 at The Barrels. Tickets on the door: £3.

David will demonstrate how to use old maps, historic air photos (this one is from 1921), LIDAR and archives to find and record local features.

Hosted by Bartonsham History Group and Greening the Village, David’s talk will be followed by a guided field workshop to show how to use simple GIS to map our trees, archaeological and landscape features around here. (Date to be arranged).

Five new people registered on Saturday and a good 50 or 60 people visited the exhibition and 20 came to the film, despite the weather. Thanks to everyone who helped especially Christine, Ian, Lorna, Shaneagh, Brian, Colin, Linda, David and Eileen.

We’re hoping to meet on Wednesday May 13 at the Volunteer, 7.30 to:
1. plan for the History Day in July;
2. arrange for more interviewing;
3. collecting more material for exhibition;
4. feedback on the website. (One visitor wants to see a history of the Pavilion posted there)

Meanwhile Esme Fosberry has loaned some photos of her days at Sankeys - we’ll post them on the website in the next few days.
