Greenhill Walks Starting on 17th June 2009

Last year we held walks every Wednesday night for around eight weeks and we're going to be starting these again from Wednesday 17th June 2009 at 7pm, going to Rough Castle Roman Wall. It will be similar to our Walk + Photo series but this time called EnviroWalkers! So if you're interested, get your camera polished up! If you don't have a camera we can lend you one. We'll also be providing some historical information for the trip so you can imagine the community in previous times!

Greenhill Munitions Wagon - it's ours!!!

The brilliant and helpful person that is Andy Davies at Network Rail has managed to negotiate a good deal for us in terms of the munitions wagon at Upper Greenhill Junction. We can HAVE the wagon so long as we find somewhere for it to go! So if you know of anywhere please let the Historical Society know. We want to keep it as part of a historical artefact of the Greenhill railway past but it does have to be moved from its current spot and placed somewhere in the community.....

ALL SUGGESTIONS W… Continue

We're going to be running some events as well as creating some resources based on our activities and we will also be looking for people to submit their own stories and memories of the area. Keep an eye out for the postcards, old photography, a timeline leaflet, a walking route map and a variety of other materials coming out… Continue

Greenhill Photography Society Update - April 2009

Hello, the Photography Society is going really well!! We meet at the centre on Saturday mornings at 10am, for around two hours. We've made trips to a lot of places in search of good photo opportunities; last week's trip was a journey down the Forth and Clyde Canal courtesy of a friend of one of our members. Our exhibition went well at the end of last year and we hope to do another one in the summer.

If you fancy coming along it is never too late and we can lend you a camera if you don't have on… Continue

How does the residents of Roman Road feel about the mess Persimmons Site Traffic have made of its surface over the winter. Particularly when there are obvious road signs prohibiting access 4 Replies
