Local History: Coffee and Conversation
10 am Thursday 25 July at Cleveland Library
These monthly coffee and conversation sessions are a great way to share your own stories about our past, to find out more about our region’s history and to meet others who are also interested in the history of the Redlands.
In July, we will be encouraging participants to share their photographs. Some of the hidden gems in our local history collection came from seemingly ordinary family snaps that just happened to show not only the people, but also an iconic building, location or event in the background, many of which may no longer exist.
We will also share some of our special historic images in our collection.
Please call Angela or Gill for more information or to reserve your seat 3829 8311.
Free event. Bookings essential.
