Nostalgia Weekend

This was part of the Nostalgia Weekend which took place at Barwell Village Hall on Saturday and Sunday 29th and 30th October 2005. The photographs on display were taken from the Earl Shilton and Barwell Photographic Archive. People were asked to bring any photographs and other memorabilia which could be scanned and added to the archive and if people were willing, to record their memories.
