The Civic Society are currently working with Marple Hall School on a project to commemorate WW1. It was planned to bid for HLF fundings for the project but in view of the opportunities created by this initiative we have decided to align our project with the activities announced by the fund partners.
We will publish details of our proposals over the next few months but they will include workshops, talks/ presentations and displays of artefacts and documents.
