Kidsgrove
I have been reading of the publication of the Tony Blair autobiography and the furore that has arisen. I met Tony Blair only once and had a conversation with him for about 15 minutes one October night in 1990 when Blair was Shadow Home Secretary. I had been asked by Wigan Constituency Labour party to participate at the 11th hour in an annual public speaking competition involving the four constituencies that made up Wigan MBC.
Wartime Evacuation Stories Wanted
06 Jul 2010
Wartime evacuees to Staffordshire and local people with memories of evacuees during World War Two are being invited to attend a reminiscence event at Kidsgrove Library this Thursday (July 8). The project team will be on hand between 3pm & 5pm to listen to local people’s stories, and their contributions will help to form part of a growing archive of evacuation in the county, helping museum and archive staff to create a lasting record of this important episode in our past.
