After a pause in all activities, we have delivered books to some of the schools and local libraries. Our sound pods are to go into public places. You might hear some oral history when you go to the library or as you wait in the dentist, or doctor’s surgery.
At the moment we’re in the process of developing a heritage resource associated with the book. It will mean people can go from reading the story about Wigton’s gasworks in the book, ‘Stinging Nettles, Skating in Clogs and other Wigton stories’, and then go online to read more about how gas was made. The pages will describe the development of the gas industry in the UK and there’ll be new pictures by children, quizzes and clips from the people we interviewed. The intention is that the resource will show how Wigton is part of the bigger national picture. We will develop this resource for this book and then we hope, for more books about Cumbria and beyond.
