An interesting talk by Shirley Sinclair from the Osgodby Heritage and History Group about how they have carried out their project, looking at dusty archives in record offices, geophysics field investigations and talking to local people about their memories of the village - with some fascinating tales along the way.
News/Reviews
A research and training meeting, dominated by discussion of recent events, the sad death of The Queen and our memories of the last change of power to occur. Some of us are too young to remember!
We discussed holiday memories past and present, some sharing photos, others telling us of events during the holiday, all contributing to the family life we research!
Sadly, we have to report that another of our members, Mary Fagan has passed away on August 14th, peacefully at home with family around her. Mary was a very popular and knowledgeable member of our group and always had information about local families and buildings. Her memory was amazing and she will be much missed. A Requiem mass will take place on Thursday 25th August at 11.00am at St. Mary's RC Church, followed by interment in Selby Cemetery.
An excellent visit to Temple Newsam for 9 of our members. We were taken on a tour of the cellars, passageways and a tunnel! There was so much to see and our guide Steve, explained everything clearly to us. A brilliant morning for our group.
A useful session, discussing outside toilets, graveyards, teddy bears, housing history in Bradford and Uncle Ted coming to visit! You needed to be there to understand the meaning!
