A NOTE FOR YOUR DIARY

On Wednesday 23rd May at 8pm, in Box Village Hall, Vera Harvey and John Kidson will talk about life in Box Village in the 1930s, during the Second World War and in the post-war period.

Vera Harvey was born in 1934 in the house overlooking the Common where she still lives. Her forebears were residents of Box going back over several generations and her Mother, Ethel Smith, wrote "Box As I Remember" which will be on sale on 23rd May. John Kidson, also born in 1934, can trace his family back over several generations. His daughter, Sarah Kidson, still lives in the village with her family in the row of cottages where John was brought up. Both Vera Harvey and John Kidson have been major participtants in and contributors to Box Village life and their first hand knowledge of village history will be of real interest to all current residents.

This is a Box Village Society event Chaired by Johnny Wilkinson.
