  1. Last months local history society minutes ref the Gibsons and the name of the speaker
  2. Sorry I cannot add anything to this story . The Gibsons were a local family. My family knew someone of that name but right now it is too late to ask the relevant questions . Sadly we never ask the right questions and time defeats us all in the end . A track we love starts with ‘ Will these city streets remember us we walked them long ago ! Torn apart by a bitter wind that took us far from home ‘
  3. History destination Tall ship at the Pier The importance of having two rivers for safety . The Railway history/ wagon ways Why not ?

  17. We have to hope that history teaches us not to repeat the mistakes of the past . Harry Patch the last ‘Tommy’ said War is licensed murder’ The programmes / books about the Holocaust are grim to say the very least . I do not understand how people can be so evil . Dangerous times for us all .
