This is a two stage project. In stage 1, the project used a professional researcher, local residents (in 'nostalgia evenings'), and local schools, to create a historical record of the area, its buildings, and local families, over the last 200 years up to 1963.

Leaflets were produced and circulated to all residents, talks are being given to interested groups, and exhibitions are being produced which show the work in progress. Schools are actively participating in the research, by adopting specific study areas.

Stage 2 achieved funding for completion of the research, formal publication of it (possibly in CD ROM format), a final exhibition, creation of historical trails, plaques for significant buildings, and history booklets and leaflets.
