Guarlford History Group
Reminiscences - memories of bygone GuarlfordIn gathering information for our books, the Guarlford History Group were privileged that people shared with us their own personal memories of times past, some written and some passed by word of mouth. This archive forms a rich aural and social history of the area to which we hope to add. Some of the stories given to us are listed below and more appear in the local history books 'The Guarlford Story' and 'The Guarlford Scene'. We are still adding new material about the area, present and past, as time goes on.
