PROJECT: Paul Beevers' project to digitise old photographs, documents and other materials has been very successful.

Some 350 copies of the village newsletter, 300 photographs, going back to 1901, and 100 other articles, maps and documents have been collected, with more still expected.

We know that there are a lot of people in and around Basingstoke who have connections with the village and we would like to appeal to you to seek out old photographs, letters, documents, recollections and any other items associated with Cliddesden that might form part of this community collection.

If you're in doubt about the relevance of any items you have, please give us the opportunity to have a look!

All items will be returned unless you wish to donate them.

If you have something to contribute or know of someone who might have interesting materials, please contact Paul Beevers on 01256 475944.
