Shalford Local History Association

SHALFORD LOCAL HISTORY ASSOCIATION

We are a small group of local people who meet once a month at The George to plan and arrange events and to manage the archive.

We meet at 2 pm on 4th Tuesday of each month except August & December at The George pub in Shalford.

Archives & Artefacts

We are continuing to add items to our electronic database. It is hoped in the future, when this is complete, this will be enable us to share the document electronically.
Recently we have received these new additions to our archives:

  • Victorian Glass Slides
  • 1958 – 1959 copies of Shalford Parish Magazines
  • Small piece of pottery, from a 500 year old kiln, which was abandoned in Shalford due to poor results
  • Christening robe for a Christining in Shalford in the 1960s

Old Photographs

The group collect old photographs of all aspects of Shalford village life, people and places. We would be happy to scan and return any photographs, unless they are given as a gift to the Association.

Our Display Cabinet

There is a small cabinet on the wall, inside Shalford Village Hall. It can accommodate a very limited display of old implements, and artefacts of a small size. We change this display regularly throughout the year.

Events

The Association holds various events throughout the year details of which can be found in the Village Magazine, local posters and our Shalford Local History Association Facebook page
