Stroud Local History Society – Summer Exhibition
Saturday, July 18 to Sunday, July 26, at the Museum in the Park
THE Exhibition starts on the same day as Stroud Country Show (July 18) and runs through until the following Sunday (26), in Gallery 2 of the Museum in the Park.
During the 1960s Norman Andrews regularly went to the annual Stroud Show, and took many photographs.
Many years later he gave them to SLHS’s Jenny Bailey.
About thirty of them have been turned into a slideshow.
Many of the Float participants will now be in their 60s or 70s – come and see if you can find Grandma as you never saw her before!
The exhibition contains many new stories for you to read from research that has been done by members during the past year: Stroud street names, Blacksmiths and carpenters, Technology and Innovation during WW1, stories about Nailsworth and King’s Stanley, Stroud Dispensary, anniversary celebrations for Magna Carta, and the effects of Waterloo on Stroud.
There will also be a special display of 35 local photographs from WW1 – some of large groups – where nobody has been identified.
You are invited to come along and see if you can recognise anyone, or add new stories to our archives.
