An unusual artefact comes home to Marple

Every now and then an Internet search comes up trumps for all involved!

In October 2022 Fred Duthy in Sweden was clearing out a box of his grandmother's stuff and found a tiny metal cylinder around 2cm diameter and 5cm long. On it was engraved the following inscription:

Frederick Booth
from
Miss Hudson
on completion of 50 years
of faithful service.
Brabyns 1860 – 1910

Listen to The Marple Band on BBC Radio 2 in 1996

Every now and then something unusual is donated to Marple Local History Society Archives. Earlier this year former Marple Librarian Margaret Bradbury decided to pass on a cassette tape that she'd had for a very long time. It was a recording made way back in 1996 featuring The Marple Band on Radio 2's Listen to the Band.

You can listen again now with BBC permission on The Marple Website:

Plans to revitalise Brabyns Bike Track are gaining momentum

Many local people will not be aware that there's been a Bike Track in Brabyns Park since 2004.

It looks like this won't be a secret for much longer, as a new group of volunteers are intent on putting the old track back on the map.
