Local History Research

We were very lucky recently to have a two University of Sheffield Graduates working with us to research the local history of the local area. Sally Ellis focused on Wisewood and Myers Grove Schools as they will be merging in the next few years and there will be a new building on the Myers Grove site. James Kennedy is working on the Stocksbridge area local history.

Here’s some of what Sally had to say about her research and time at the CLC:

“the placement has allowed me to develop skills from my historical backgound to meet demands in a professional atmosphere, and the structures within the CLC gave me a real taste of history in a public context.”
