Check back here regularly to find out what's going on at Worle History Society.

Starting Saturday, May 3rd, we will be holding research and general family history sessions at Worle Library in Mendip Avenue from 10am until 1.00pm. All welcome.

We have lots of changes and news to share with you!

Change of Dates

As from May we are now  meeting on the First Tuesday of the month. This will be better with easier parking.

June’s meeting will be about Worle schools, hopefully with plenty of photos from different decades. Come along and see if you can spot yourself or send any photos or bring them along on the night we would love to see them along with any memories.

Web Site

We have also been very busy working on the Web Site. This is very much a work in progress and we hope to add more to what is there, for all to explore whether you are new to Worle, a local or have moved away. Please let us know if want you would like to see on it.

Social Media

At the moment Worle History Society does not have any Social Media so please contact Dave the Chairman if you need any thing or grab one of us at a meeting. Raye worked really hard in setting a Face Book Page and adding all the wonderful photos and it will remain hers to look after. If you wish to share photos with us, please let us know we would love to see them also.

New Saturday Meetings

We will also be running a few sessions at Worle Library (Saturday mornings) we will be looking how to look up your family history and Know your Place or any other local history. No need to book just pop along. We will let you know the dates in due course.

Worle News

Finger Post During the storms in December we lost the fingers on the finger post in Ebdon Road. This was no ordinary finger post as this one was damaged by German bombers on an evening raid during the 2nd World War. The Nut Tree pub kindly kept it safe untill the council collect it. Weston Town Council are doing their best to get the post restored.

Recently someone smashed three of beautiful stained-glass windows at the Old Kings Head pub these are now being restored.

Other Talks Some of our talks are being repeated to other groups, so if you missed a talk Dave will keep us posted on dates and times for you.
