Hi Gwen,

I live in a small market town.It was granted its charter almost a thousand years ago. The town I was born in was granted its charter in 1280. The towns are only 3 miles apart.

But the town I work in was a small fishing village until the industrial revolution. Then it went on to become one of the best ship building towns in the world

Hi D.D. the village I live in has a web site www.Broadbottom Village.com/ and also has a history project from 1795 on there together with pictures. the cottage we live in dates back to c 1749 if it is of interest to you. I think what you are doing is a v good idea everything everywhere is changing so quickly I feel lost in local towns no familiar landmarks, just tall blocks of yupppy apartments at megga prices.

Have a look at the Ancestral Villages site. You can add the names of people who lived there and make contact with others - its a great way of keeping the village alive.

Hi Gwen
My little "village" was here 100 years ago,
and didnt look very different to how it is now-
a lot more trees, a few less houses,
dirt tracks instead of roads.
The little school next door was built
in 1880, but has been burned down
twice in bushfires, so doesnt look the same.
