Recording Oral History

Five people from the Lythe and Sandsend area have been trained in oral history techniques.  Recording volunteers will start in the New Year in the Village Hall.


Learning the Basics

Group members spent a really enjoyable couple of days with a local photographer, taking photos of the same views that Tom Watson took almost a hundred years ago.  We also had the opportunity to see how a plate glass camera worked, and actually dared to turn off intelligent auto on our digital SLR's and set our own aperture speeds and use manual exposure.


We hope to continue taking photos during 2013 to record up to date images of Tom Watson postcards of all the villages in the Mulgrave Ward.

                                              Some of our photos actually turned out OK!
