Our very own Janet Beck on “Everything you ever wanted to know about The Archers, Academic Archers, friendship, knitting and related silliness”

The Geezers write, "We have been exploring the history of where we live, the threads which connect the past with the present and have run a photography project, ‘Roman Road Faces’, recreating scenes from the past. We are showcasing the findings at this free community festival which will have a history exhibition, art exhibition and workshops, stalls and games, music and more. The event will also launch our local history map, which will be given out free at the event, and a new book, Tales of Old Ford, Bow."
