St Ann's Reminiscences
SIXTEEN YEARS ago, with help from Mr Richard Pearson, St Ann’s library on the Robin Hood Chase began a unique project, ‘A Day of Memories’ and invited the people who once lived in this town to return and reminisce about the good old days, it became an annual event lasting over 5 year. People brought in old photo’s of the town as it use to be. This special presentation is a slide show of over 200 images set to the sounds of spring.
