If you would like to join us in this enjoyable and rewarding task then please contact Mrs Martlew, via the office, on 01629 640377. Thank you Jean Gledhill Then and Now........ click photos to enlarge. ![]() The Picture on the right was taken in Great Longstone Village in 1909, the picture below it was taken from the same place, near 'The Cross' in 2011. Notice how the horse and cart in the distance has been replaced by a Land Rover, and how many cars are now on the street..
The War memorial is in place also in the later picture and a new building has appeared on the left.
Long term residents of Great Longstone will probably see many changes that are not very obvious to the more recent residents. It was strange taking the photograph and thinking that 102 years ago someone may have stood in the same place taking a photograph, I wonder how many people before me had stood in the same spot and what their thoughts might have been as they looked down Main street................
If any one has any photographs of the area from the past, particularly the Church, Pubs, Shops and other buildings in the village, or any stories, tales, myths or legends then please send them into the editor and have them included on the website and in the Magazine.
It is always interesting to see how things used to be, especially in the days before cars and trucks and modern machinery were so prevalent. |
