Down Memory Lane has concentrated on recording Oral Histories and photographs from residents in Weston, looking at the changing face of Weston since the 30’s from small country village to the densely residential area it is today.  Among the wonderful memories, residents have had stories to tell about the village life in a seaside village during the war, the Rolling Mills, the famous  Seaweed Hut and  what life was like in the new Tower blocks.

A Trip to the Beach was undertaken with Weston Park Junior School taking children to the beach and then working on projects to learn more about the history and the environment through arts activities.  The children made sculptures of their experience of visiting Weston Shore, made informative lift-a-flap posters about the shore and used some of the Oral Histories and old photographs to find out more about the area.  The schools work has been collated onto a CDRom to be used as a resource for future work at the school.
