Hello, I am Caroline Beasley the Education and Outreach Officer for Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum.

In Spring 2005 I embarked on collecting memories from local residents, What started as a casual idea has become much bigger. With great assistance from Age Concern's local branch stories were collected at day centres. Many more have been collected at the Museum and in individuals' homes.

It has been hard work, but inspiring to hear of so many stories of hardship and loss, courage and fortitude. Some edited versions are collected on a CD Rom of text and images available from the Museum.

If anyone reading these stories would like to get in touch with a contributor,or you have a story to tell and live locally, please contact me at the Museum on 01722 332151.
