Following our first meeting of the year at which member Ian Newton gave a well attended and interesting talk on the history of the Raleigh Bicycles company and brand, our next hall meeting will take place on 18 May 2026.
Chris Weir will present “Down the Marshes – a history of Broad Marsh and Narrow Marsh”.
The full programme for our hall meetings for 2026 is below.
We have an ongoing project to record all the memorials/inscriptions in the graveyard at St. Michael’s Church.
We would like to record more oral histories this Spring/Summer. If you were living in Bramcote prior to 1980 and would like to share your memories with members of our research team, please get in touch via the “contact us” facility on this website.
We have also begun a new initiative to collect information regarding the Ericsson/Plessey site in Beeston. If you have any photos (particularly colour), plans or other information relating to the buildings on the site which you would be prepared to share, please let know via the “contact us” facility on this website.
