Woodborough’s Heritage Group was formed in 1999, members included: John Hoyland, David Rose, Margaret Kirk, Pam Footitt, Steve Archer, Michael Harrison, Paul Reed, and David Bagley with technical help from Lawrence Milbourn. It was the Group’s objective to photograph our village as a millennium project, to scan the many photographs known to be in existence and place them into themes, such as people, buildings and events, we now have a data base of at least 5,000 images.
It became possible to use many of those photos to illustrate our extensive website; which is currently 800 - A4 pages long. So donors of both photographs and articles have contributed greatly to the sites success.
Original spellings of people and places have been used although there are many inconsistencies, particularly within older documents. We don’t think there are many, if any, text errors within the website, but should any be found, please notify us using the email address to the right. All authors have been acknowledged where these are known.
Further development of this site is unlikely; the website is now in the care of Woodborough Parish Council. We would like to place on record our appreciation to all who have made contributions whether that is by way of grants, material, research, and of course the countless hours of word processing.
Residents past and present both near and far have allowed their treasured photos to be scanned for the purpose of illustrating articles and we thank them for this. Please get in touch if you want to contribute material, or suggest corrections, to what is already published on this site.
