Fly the Flag - A community roadshow

Three local history groups from Derbyshire got together this summer to discover what heritage their communities had in common. The result was a touring exhibition of a choice selection from the photographic archives of Elmton and Creswell, Langwith/Whaley Thorns and Shirebrook, which visited summer fairs and galas. Pride of Place assisted them to express the varied past they share, from mines to farming, from street scenes to local characters. 500 people came to discover the heritage of their backyard.

A new exhibition is now being prepared involving Nottinghamshire communities. So, this autumn look out for the Nottinghamshire version at a Christmas fair near you.
