Here's a good Post story, publicising a really interesting partnership and series of free local history events (see list below - especially those marked ** which are in or close to Knowle).Run by the University of Bristol in partnership with Bristol City Council and local community groups, Know Your Bristol is a series of free public events exploring local heritage. Members of the public are invited to come and join us to explore their local history as well as contributing to it themselves. We invite members of the public to bring their own stories about each area, including family history and memories of the location. We would also encourage people to bring along objects such as films, family photographs, and historical artefacts.
Digital images of objects brought in and interviews recorded on the day will be contributed to Bristol City Council's Know Your Place project, allowing people to explore their local history through an interactive map website.
Everyone is warmly invited to attend our up coming events and bring their stories of the places to share with the Know Your Bristol team.
Future events include:
**Know Your Arnos Vale-Saturday 19th May 10-4 at Arnos Vale Cemetery
Know Your Kings Weston- Saturday 16th June 10-4 at Kings Weston House
**Know Your South Bristol- Saturday 23rd June 10-4 at Knowle West Media Centre
