First Album of Pilton Story Extracts

An online archive is a brilliant way of making things available to anyone anywhere in the world.  Indeed, of the ten people a day who are visiting www.thepiltonstory.org online, some are from other continents.

To create something which can be studied without a computer, we have formed The Pilton Story Album Group to prepare paper albums from the archive.  We will be sharing these albums with any groups and organisations in Pilton with an interest in its history.  To help us we would love people to join this Group and bring along their own photographs and documents to help us swell the story and them learn more about their community.  And as we gather material we hope to begin giving talks about Pilton’s heritage.  First we need your help, so look out for our leaflet on it and do come along.

The cloth embroidered with 40 signatures of the Pilton Women's Committee 1964

A fascinating cloth related to Pilton has come to light.  It’s a lace-edged tablecloth about 3 feet square (about 90cm square), apparently with the individual signatures of members of the Pilton Women’s Committee 1964.

Unfortunately we haven’t yet found anyone who remembers the Pilton Women’s Committee or any of its members.  If you have heard of the organisation, know something about it or recognise any of the names of its members, please contact us.  The names are all listed in The Pilton Story archive, so follow this link to Pilton Women’s Committee 1964.
