Ollerton of Yesteryear
Location: Nottinghamshire
This project will preserve the history of New Ollerton, which developed solely as a result of the sinking of the colliery. It will enable the present and future generations to be aware of this development and to be able to preserve the important common link that they have with the past.
So far the group has over 200 photographs which have been donated by residents of New Ollerton, some dating back to the 1920’s. It is the intention that these will be preserved for posterity through correct cataloguing and storage. They will then be displayed in a variety of formats accessible to the public.
Using the photographs as a prompt, the group plan to interview and record various people and preserve their memories and anecdotal evidence of the past. It is anticipated that the school and other local organisations will be involved.
