Welcome to the Bluntisham Heritage project website, thank you for showing an interest and visiting our site.
We live in a village that people find hard to leave once they have either been born here or moved here. In some cases if people have moved away they seem to retain strong emotional ties to the village.
We realized that lots of people have lots of information on the village, be that a relative that lived in your house in 1881 or a memory of the old school fete or playgroup and that there was nowhere to share these memories. We wanted to provide a forum where this information could be shared and made available to everyone digitally wherever they were. We decided to link the past to present in a digital archive that can be maintained and added to going forward. In thirty years’ time the year Six pupils who are leaving the school will be 40 and they are creating the history of Bluntisham today, when Lily Norman becomes Prime Minister in 2055 we will rightly claim her as one of our own.
The site is now in its sixth year and we have well over a thousand photographs, articles, maps and news paper clippings loaded on to the site. All of which have been contributed by people with a link to the village. We have visitors to the site from Australia, France, Germany, America and New Zealand amongst others. We get approximately 400 site visits each month.
New contributions are always welcome. There is more content being added all the time, so please keep on visiting.
Thank You
