Village Images Go Online!

The Blackheath Society is about to release 1200 images of Blackheath Village over the next few weeks. We will start with 250 images of Royal Parade and Montpelier Vale on Friday, the 25th March and follow this with images of Tranquil Vale the following week.

We will then release new images of the village each Friday until Friday 29th April.

This is a very exciting development and represents the culmination of many months of hard work by the scanning team - Helen Doris, Sue Shields, Jo Swadkin and Hilary Weedon who can now take a well earned rest - for a a time at least!

Thanks of course, to Neil Rhind, without whom the archive would not exist.

Well done to all the team and many thanks for your support in difficult, and sometimes uncertain, times.
