Village Photos from New Zealand

During August you may have seen Graeme Parr's entry in the guest book. Graeme also emailed me with the following information and attached some old photographs of the village

'My great great grandfather was born in Hartshorne in 1812. He was John Bradley, a tailor.

Two of his daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Ann emigtated to New Zealand in 1863.Mary Ann was my great grandmother and the attached pictures are from an album that I assume she brought with her.

Elizabeth became engaged to Henry Shacklock from Derby prior to emigrating. Henry emigrated before Elizabeth and they were married when she arrived in NZ. Henry Shacklock founded the firm of H E Shacklock Ltd which became well known for the manufacture of cast iron coal ranges in NZ.'

The photographs can be viewed on the links below.

New Scout Group in Hartshorne?

The new Scout Group '1st Hartshorne' is now well established, and looks set to add a Beaver Scout Coloney very soon (6-8 years).

Since the start last September there has been a Cub Scout Section 8-10years, and a Scout Section 10-14years. Both are held on a Friday Night, Cubs 6:30-7:45pm & Scouts 8:00-9:30pm.

If you are interested in helping out the group or for your child to attend either of these sections please contact the District Commissioner, Andy Austen on 702448.

The group will need a treasurer to allow the it to start operating.
