This week our Y8 historians were presented with a copy of the blue plaques they created as part of a local heritage project. 

 

They spent time researching Eldon Street at the archives and had literacy-based sessions on turning their ideas into the wording for blue plaques. The original blue plaques were displayed at key locations on Eldon Street and in the Victorian Arcade from December 2022. They told the story of the forgotten history of our town centre. This was part of the High Street Heritage Action Zone (HSHAZ) project, and we would would like to thank Sara Mair and everyone involved for this wonderful opportunity.
