Email [to Mr J.M.Lee]-
Newthorpe: For some time now I’ve been engaged in research with a view to producing
a booklet, similar to the above, about the history of Newthorpe and its surrounding
area. Contacts would be very welcome from anyone having knowledge, records or photos
of anything historically relevant. Of particular interest would be: the early school,
the institute, pubs both remaining and gone, Newthorpe’s many churches, farms, mining,
blacksmiths; in fact, almost anything which might be of interest. Please contact
via the email address above. I can’t guarantee to include your material but it will
be most gratefully considered -
