Welcome to the Shepherdswell & Coldred History Society
Through this site you will be taken on a journey to our past, learning how events have shaped the people of this area and how the people have shaped the area.
History is a very fluid subject and so we will be constantly updating the information on this site as we learn more. We also hope to add both audio and visual recordings.
OUR NEXT MEETING
Thursday 27th March 2025
Shepherdswell Village Hall @ 7.30pm
Open Evening: Annual General Meeting and ‘Lost Streets of the Parish’
The meeting commences with our AGM, which reviews the Society’s activities and elects our Committee.
We will then have a discussion on how street names in Shepherdswell and Coldred have been lost or changed, and how once simple tracks have evolved into main thoroughfares and vice versa.
The society normally holds monthly meetings and regular talks at Shepherdswell Village Hall.
