Join us at Prestbury LIBRARY, The Burgage from 7:30pm on Monday April 27th

FOR THE LAUNCH OF OUR FIRST PUBLICATION and a display of our Archive

Prestbury: A Walk Through Time by Roger Beacham

We are very pleased to introduce the first publication under the name of the Prestbury Local History Society. Roger, and Michael Cole who edited and prepared for publication, deserve our congratulations and thanks. The book is meticulously researched and presented. A map is included and plenty of well chosen photographs.

The walk is just over a mile and takes one from the Library, through Seven Posts Alley, Prestbury Road, Deep Street, High Street, Southam Road, Mill Street and The Burgage. Roger provides a historical background to the village and some of the characters who figure in the story and then a history of all the significant buildings on the route and some of the people who have lived in them.

At £2 per copy it is extremely good value and I suspect that we will find that our first order is insufficient to meet demand.

Don’t forget to join us at the W.I. Hall on Monday 23rd March at 7:30pm

There will be a talk about The Women’s Institute in Prestbury by Val Porter.  We will also be holding our AGM.
