Marple Local History Society web site launch

[admin]

I'm pleased to announce the official launch of Marple Local History Society's new web site that has been produced in collaboration with the Marple Website.

The site format has been developed with members of the society over the last few months and they will now maintain and update it themselves with with support as required from Marple Website Design and Hosting.

Marple Local History Society has been a member of the Marple Website Community pages since January 2000. The society has been sharing their photo archives with the community through the Marple Website Virtual Tour since 2010 and will continue to do so. I am delighted to maintain strong links with the society now that they have their own site:

Although the Marple Local History Society web site was officially launched at the beginning of September, there was also a more formal launch of it on Wednesday night at Marple Library in conjunction with the launch of two new local history society publications. These are available to view on the site here:

In addition, the society have begun a picture quiz on the site this week where, just for fun, you can try to figure out where the images were taken. The quiz is here and will be periodically updated:
