Book, website , Kindle or publish on demand are all in the distant future, but a small exhibition at Selby Road Open Gardens 26th & 27th May 2012 - 2-6pm and at the Diamond Jubilee Street Party will be possible.
In case you are reading this and live or have lived on Selby Road and are still shy about contacting me I thought I would try and reassure you. The following information fits onto an A4 sheet. Similar sheets for each family will follow the same template and can be easily displayed.
I have been privileged to have been told some great personal histories and have much more information to work through. However the next stage is to create the simple A4 introduction sheets like the one below. If you can help create a sheet like this, I would be grateful. If you have any more stories or even brief memories about the people who lived in our houses PLEASE do get in contact.
Sample A4 sheet.
