Dunston Village History.

I am organising an exhibition of the history of Dunston village for the week-end of 23 -25 June with the help of my faithful band of warriors. This is instead of St. Peter’s annual flower festival. It will mainly centre on Dunston and Nocton Estate and is titled ‘All Our Yesterdays’.

I need help in finding old photographs of the village and people as far back as possible together with views of the surrounding area. Farming and the Nocton estate pictures would be most welcome. Has anyone got some old ladies hats for display as well as dresses tucked away in bottom drawers, that have not seen the light of day for a very long time? Newspaper cuttings with stories that will be interesting to today’s villager. Either give me a ring 323183 or tell anyone from St Peters who will pass the message on. Even if you have only one old picture it all helps o build up a picture of the history of our village. PLEASE HELP.
