I wonder if any survive. Did anyone feel up to taking on the project of scanning and cataloguing the Hist Soc collection, do you know?<br />If you ever feel like writing a guest post, please let me know!Alice Barriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259002618360924930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939236278497057688.post-49096000294623241472012-10-06T09:35:43.503+01:002012-10-06T09:35:43.503+01:00You've got me thinking now Alice.

Perhaps not surprising that it isn't discussed much but it was a massive civil engineering exercise that affected the whole village as new trenches were excavated and pipes laid. I recall watching the gang work as the route passed by the old school yard, went through the wood behind PYAH and then down to the footpath and along "the botts". When they reached the bridge near the church, they were planning to dig up the road to go underneath it, when Tom Milburn intervened and informed then of the old culvert that went under the road to feed the old Mill. I believe they then used this. People took photographs if the archway when it was uncovered. This would be around 55? - 57?m.mc.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939236278497057688.post-7323121217010951342012-10-06T09:17:18.072+01:002012-10-06T09:17:18.072+01:00A brilliant time line Aice.

Wish history had been taught like this when I was at school, I might have taken more notice. Very interested in the info. on the bridge, as I can remember the last widening project - late 60's? Believe Tony Wakefields dad took charge of it - he lived in Bathurst cottage at the time - only a few yards from the bridge. Think this time line could be a magnet for many more interesting items.m.mc.noreply@blogger.com
