Bio
Alresford Memories publishes personal accounts of life in Alresford, a village near Winchester in Hampshire UK, from wherever they can be obtained. It was started in 2012, the Jubilee year, and it is hoped that it will be used by schools as a project to get the younger residents of the area trying to record what their parents know and remember about Alresford in days gone by.
The project is being initiated by New Alresford Town Trust, and the associated website is www.towntrust.org.uk. That website name shows that this is one of the few Town Trust organizations existing in the UK. The Alresford town website itself can be found on www.alresford.org.
The Alresford and District Museum Trust was established as a charity in April 2006, by Roy Robins, but the initial enthusiasm was lost on his death in May 2007. Their achievements over that short period were limited but they did manage to raise over £10,000 towards their endeavour.Following a period of inactivity, the Town Trust stepped in during 2011 and the Charity Commissioners agreed to the funds being transferred to the Town Trust, as an established charity.
This weblog is one of the initiatives being generated by the Town Trust.
