Our recent open events in Oakamoor, Cheddleton and Denstone were well received and people travelled from far and wide to attend and share their memories of life in the Churnet Valley. We filmed and recorded lots of people and will be processing these clips for posterity.
As part of the Churnet Valley Railway's Winter Works, the line's volunteers have recovered a large number of logs at their Operational base in Cheddleton.
Children from Waterhouses Primary School in Waterhouses are helping the Lafarge Cauldon cement plant in Cauldon Lowe to celebrate its 60th anniversary. They have designed a healthy living calendar.
Drop in and say hello at one of our open events in the Churnet Valley. We want to see as many local people as possible, so please help us spread the word as there should be something for everyone.
