We are compiling an archive of
the village, something that has never been done before, recording
lifestyles and times right back to the early days. Would like
you to help or could you? Do you remember how the village
life was before the airfield was built?, or how the village
changed when the RAF station was being constructed and the
many years after. Can you remember the many ponds in the village,
the old shops, the pig farms or any memory Mum, Dad or Grand
parents have spoken about our village.
What about how the White Hart Inn used
to look like, who owned the property prior to you, did
you take any photo in the village and have them stored in
an old photo album? Do you have photos of the village buildings
or landscape before the newest housing estates were built.
Anything would be appreciated. Maybe some of your memories
have not been documented, but you can vividly remember how
the lifestyles were, and what buildings used to be before
the current occupants owned them This information is so valuable
to paint that era of the past.
So that we can start to bring these jig-saw pieces together,
consolidating all those memories and bygones, we need your
assistance. Your images memories will be so valuable, as the
National Record
Archives has very little on Lyneham village.
Those images or text you have, we can have them scanned quickly,
so you will not be without the treasures for long. We will
of course give you the full credit for the information provided.
Please contact the webmaster either by email
webmaster@lynehamvillage.com
or phone 07986 134015 if you can help in anyway.
Many thanks in advance
