Find out about your home – Sat Feb 2nd & Wed Feb 6th

Free workshops
Bristol Archives
B Bond Warehouse, Smeaton Rd, Bristol BS1 6XN

Sat 2nd February 1.30pm (FULL)
Wed 6th February 1.30pm (FULL)
(both identical 2 hour workshops)

We have arranged free workshops with Bristol Archives to show us how we can find out about our homes and the people that lived in them when they were new. A lot of our homes in Sea Mills were built in the 1920’s and would have housed returning veterans of WW1, however some houses were later, and a few have been around a lot longer. Come and find out when your home was built and start to find out who lived there. We will also be looking at public buildings and the history of the estate. We’ll be looking mainly at houses in Sea Mills Coombe Dingle, but if you don’t live in the immediate area you could still come and help as there will be lots to do.

The information we gather will form part of a heritage trail and our mini-museum which opens in the old red phone box on Sea Mills Square in June 2019.

NEWS: New Year, new video, new you tube channel!

Happy New Year everyone, it’s time to get this project really going. In the next few weeks we will be booking visits to our local record office and getting started with researching into the estate and into our own homes. The information we find will be used in our heritage trail and our mini-museum in the phone box on the Square. The trail will take place over the weekend of 8/9 June 2019 and the mini-museum will also open that weekend and stay for a year.  Look our for news of developments here, on our social media, mailouts and on the noticeboards at the Cafe on the Square, outside the old Ironmongers and of course keep an eye on the phone box on the Square.

We have also opened a new you tube channel  for the video clips we will generate during the project. We hope you enjoy our New Year video below, it’s also on our you tube channel along with our Christmas lights switch on for those who missed it.
