27th Sept 2019, 7-9.00 p.m. – final reminder
The third meeting about local history will take place on Friday 27th September, from 7.00-9.00 p.m. in Pateshall Hall. There will be an entrance fee of £3 to include ‘half-time’ refreshments. The session this time will be a talk about education in Allensmore covering the period 1824-1956 when the school closed, then a little about what happened during the next three years, before the building became the village hall. There will also be a display of some of the evidence that has been found including a lovely photograph of the pupils taken on May Day 1901 (it would be great if more photographs come to light – of the school and/or Allensmore generally! Bring them along and Nick will scan them onto the computer.)
If anyone else if prepared to help Pam and Brigitte on refreshment duty, this would be much appreciated [Yvonne’s number is 01432 806 414)
We look forward to seeing you there and exploring the story of schooling in the village. If you have any topics of local history that you are interested in exploring, then we would like to hear about them.
