Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
I was sent this interesting story by Karl Blon.
Karl Digging his garden... note his clogs.
Over to Karl
The cutting is dated 2nd June 1972 and in those days the
paper was called North Cheshire Herald.
That was when Hyde was in the county of Cheshire.
We moved away from Hyde in 1985 to North Devon where we
lived for 30 years. Those years were the ‘peaceful area’ days and which Exmoor
on our doorstep, it was a pleasure to live there. Also, having 2 grown up sons
at the time, we thought it would give them a better quality of life.
During August, 2013 we moved to peaceful Anglesey where we
live to this day enjoying a ‘peaceful’ but fulfilling retirement.
However, I still have a soft spot for Hyde as people treated
me very kindly. When I lived in Hyde I secured employment with Ashton Bros. and later
with ICI Hyde in their marketing Department.
