Icon Navigation
December 1st 2013
There are now icons for all the sections and all the pages and a new navigation bar down the left hand side of each page. We hope that these help you navigate the increasingly large collection and rising number of pages and the classifications we have used are logical. If you spot any errors or cards where they shouldn't really be, please let us know.
Videos Added
December 3rd 2013
We have started to add old videos of the town when we come across them. Many of them are conversions of old cine films and news reels and quite a few are linked back to YouTube feeds with the copyright owners duly credited. A few have been created by us for specific themes and more will be added in the months to come.
