1. COLLECTION OF LOCAL HISTORY ARTICLES

For many years the Society's Archivist, Alastair Robertson, has written short articles on local history for the Alston Moor News Letter. The Society has published them and made them available to the general public. There are over 30 illustrated articles and they have been brought together in two booklets of 54 pages each.

These will be of great value to anyone with an interest in the unique history of Alston Moor and will also be an ideal gift give to friends who may no longer be in the area or who have family connections on the Moor.
