The Rev James and Mrs Connie West were often to be seen around Pilton on their bikes between 1956 and 1981.
In a little over two months, The Pilton Story Archive has already collected over one hundred separate items and they continue to come in. Subjects range from the commemoration of Haile Selassie to rugby matches between police and firemen, from performing dogs to amateur pantomimes and from cycling mole catchers to cycling vicars. Viewing all these online is easy enough, but there are many people who prefer their photographs printed. And looking at them can be a much more social activity than sitting in front of a computer screen.
So we are starting a small group of people to help us with the preparation of albums of the more interesting archive material which can be used at events like the Drop In on Sunday 3rd June in Pilton Church Hall (2 – 5pm), If you would like to help with this fascinating aspect of The Pilton Story Project please contact us. All you need is the ability to stick double-sided tape on the backs of photographs – and to drink tea and chat.
