The Calver Weir oral history project came to a glorious end this weekend with an exhibition in Calver Village Hall. Over 200 people visited the exhibition over the weekend. The launch was attended by 10 interviewees, 2 Heritage Lottery Fund officers, all of the oral history team and about another 15 residents and visitors.

We are just starting a new three-year archaeology project north of Barnsley, in Athersley, New Lodge and Smithies. Bill is project managing for the Romero Communities as well as providing interpretation services and archaeological advice. We are also contributing some educational activities. We are working with local archaeological contractors who will supervise and train volunteers …

We came across one of our 2011 Turner Trails panels at Boroughbridge information centre.    

inHeritage will work with Bedford Borough Council and the Marston Vale Trust on a Heritage Lottery Fund supported heritage interpretation at Bedford River Valley Park.

Today we had an amazing day bringing the lost streets of Ruskin Park to life for the Ruskin Park Fun Day.

Bill has written an article for CJS Focus on behalf of the Association for Heritage Interpretation. Published today, it is an introduction to outdoor interpretation for countryside property managers. Its currently online at http://www.countryside-jobs.com/Focus/Current.htm.

inHeritage have produced a panel for the Grenoside Reading Room about the history of the reading room linked to local industrialists. We developed the concept, liaised with the local history group, wrote the text, designed the panel and managed production.

Yesterday Hope and Castleton Historical Societies launched the Lives of the Common People exhibition at Castleton Visitor Centre.

Thank you to everyone who came to and helped make the Walkley Memories Day such a resounding success on Friday afternoon.
