Oblong and can be red
The first edition of The History File by David Cummings is now online. And it is all about brick making in Christleton. I am sure you will discover something you did not know.
Welcome to the Christleton Blog. This is the best place to check what is happening as I tend to mention here any new items or features to the website as and when they happen and give a link to where you will find them. But I would encourage you to click around the site and explore. You are currently in the main part and you will find links to two other main sections. The Christleton War Voices which has an immense amount of information about Christleton in World War I. The other is Christleton 3 which is rich in photographs and includes two regular monthly features. Wildlife Watch and The History File. Enjoy.

Lucky Purchase
It started with a rampant plant. Continued on a coach with a gathering of lovely ladies. And a happy ending in a supermarket aisle. Just another Garden Ramble story.
