World War One in Romiley
« on: Sunday 22 September 13 23:28 BST (UK) »
Is there anyone who has family histories, photographs, memories and artefacts from the First World War in Romiley and Bredbury, Stockport?  We are in the process of putting together a trail through Romiley and Brecbury based on the names on the two memorials there. A proportion of the houses where these men lived are still standing today and we are currently researching their exact locations, then will be seeking permission from present day owners to have them included in the accompanying booklet. We will be running a static display locally about wider issues such as the role of women, what happened to the men who came home, how work life changed etc. If we can copy enough photographs, we'd like to create a montage.  The exhibition and trail will run from July - end November 2014 and we hope to involve as many people as possible. Please get in touch if you are interested.  Thanks
