EDITORIAL
This edition of the Ashwell Year Book is the first one to have coloured
photographs, due to the generosity of Michael Mills-Roberts of
The Bushel and Strike who by taking a full colour advertisement
on the Back Cover has made it possible.
The
colour photographs depict scenes from “Ashwell at Christmas”,
the top one being Terence Rochford as Town Crier; immediately below
Kevan and Marion Morrison with daughter Laura outside the Post Office
Stores, and in the bottom group Raksha McCann and Jenny Hunter making
up a Victorian potion to cure all ills, with David and Rosemary Oliver
on the Roast Chestnut Stall. Photos by David Sims.
There are four new items in this eighth edition: Policing of Ashwell,
the Think Tank, News Briefs and Local Authors. I hope these will
add both interest and usefulness. The Directory has been considerably
revised, and together with the rest of the Year Book provides a great
deal of information, which you will find constantly helpful to refer
to.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Liz Poole has been a tremendous help in preparing this Edition in her capacity
as Parish Clerk. Not only this, but with Judith Catterick shares in the word
processing of the information.
Word Design Technology of Clifton is much involved with setting the advertisements
and page make-up, while Cortney Publications is responsible for overall production.
We warmly thank our advertisers without whom a publication of this
quality would be impossible.
