The project aims to involve Societies and individuals in identifying interesting but lesser known places and people; places that don't make it on to the tourist circuit but which have some local historical interest or significance. Also, there will be local knowledge of men and women who have made a significant contribution to their own locality or more widely but whom time has largely forgotten.

• The aim is to document these places and celebrate these people before they slip out of memory.
• The intention is to place them on this website, and possibly on a CD.

The following guidelines aim to help people to compile information in common format.

• The topic should be on one A4 page.
• Name of the History Group/Society/Individual.
• Place/Person name
• Images: Scanned photographs or digital camera photos at as high as resolution as possible. Colour or b/w if this was the original print. Send images separately from the text i.e do not embed in the document unless the text/image is an image in itself.
• Location of place
• Text giving the story behind the subject. Up to 300 words
• Type the page in word document

When completed send to:
