Shirley Smith - Blaby Heritage

Shirley Smith is our local historian and has written the acclaimed

"Reminiscences and Pictures of Old Blaby" available direct from Shirley.

Blaby Heritage Group published a book in the Spring of 2000. The book contains over a hundred photographs, many articles and stories on the history of Blaby and memories of times gone by.

Mr. Shirley Smith has spent three years compiling the information for his book, and is now compiling the information for a sequel. If you wish to contribute anecdotes or pictures, he would be pleased to accept them. However he can only accept non-copyrighted material.

We have the facility to copy most formats of pictures. So if you email us with the details we will contact you to pick up the relevant pictures, copy them and send them back to you together with a digital copy for you to keep.
