This website was started as a new project at the beginning of 2009. My interest in Burton’s local history is relatively recent and comes about after preparing the Burton Grammar School history website linked above.

Having worked though an ever-growing pile of books and materials, I have decided to contribute this website and to pick on a few gaps that have not been paricularly well covered elsewhere.

It is very much a ‘work in progress’ and will doubtless undergo a number of major re-organisations as it continues to grow. I hope you enjoy to follow its progress.

If YOU have any photos or material relating to Burton’s local history, please do not hesitate to contact me.
