Following the success of our "Filby Weddings" themed display at the Church during Open Gardens 2009 we followed up with a display of pictures of people who are living in the village of Filby, or who have lived in the village at some point in their lives in the past.
To qualify you had to be 40 years old in 2010 or older. We asked for pictures of residents, and former residents, when they were young, as a child or young adult, and a recent photograph. We even took the "now" picture. Of course we also needed to know the name of the person, including the maiden name if applicable, and the dates of residence.
Open Gardens was held on the 18th and 19th July.
The pictures have now joined those of the Filby Weddings collection in the Filby Collection to be housed in the New Community Centre. This collection has become as valuable a resource in the future as its predecessor had already proved to be.
Here are two examples of pictures used.
If you have any memories of Filby or its people we still look forward to hearing from you, if you have any photographs of the village or its people, any era, you would be willing to share we would appreciate the opportunity to see them, copy and add them to the collection. Contact details below.
