Members of the Shirley Local History Group are keen to share and gather more knowledge of our local area and we particularly enjoy attending Community Events. These offer a chance to share photographs, memories and research as well as providing an opportunity for conversations which have led us to even more information and materials about the history of our local area.
If you would like us to bring our history display to your community event, please contact us on history@fosjp.org.uk
