Missing South Lanarkshire village history website

[KennethDavidson]

Hi,

Earlier this year I noticed that the website lqtcc.co.uk had disappeared. This is frustrating as its history sub-section contained a hugely impressive village history of Pettinain, and also histories of Carmichael, Thankerton, and Libberton & Quothquan. The authors included Charlie Todd and William Fleming.

If anyone knows what has happened to it, or can contact the authors, I'd be very grateful.
This was a highly valuable resource for the history of these South Lanarkshire villages  and I’d love to see it back online.

Thanks.

Hi Kenneth

I always find is so sad when these sites go. Means that site owner(s) no longer keeping up the annual host payments etc for all sorts of reasons.

A good place to check is the Wayback Machine, which robots (in a lovely way) around and captures all sort of stuff.

There is this for example http://web.archive.org/web/20140131084543/http://lqtcc.co.uk/

Have a look around in case there is different captures. http://web.archive.org/web/20140131084543*/http://lqtcc.co.uk/

Not sure what you are looking for, so over to you.

If you find what you wanted, save it!

Hope this helps with what you need

Thanks Monica! I hadn’t come across the Wayback Machine before. It could be very useful elsewhere. Unfortunately, in this case the history subsection wasn’t part of the archive.

Actually, I had already copied out most of the downloadable history for these villages, and have been cross-checking parts of the Pettinain parish history with my own records. What I was aiming to do next was to contact the authors through their website.

I will find other ways around this problem!

Thanks again,

Kenneth.
