To let everyone know that Anne Collier is to release her next book called "Sherburn in Victorian Times" at an informal afternoon in Sherburn Village Hall, near Scarborough between 1 and 4 pm on 15 Feb. Profits if any, are to be shared equally between St Hilda's Church Fabric Fund and Sherburn Surgery for extra equipment. From the sale of "Sherburn -a 20th Century History" Anne was able to donate just over £1000 towards a new School classroom and same amount towards cost of Millennium renovation of village hall. John Clarke "a Sherburn lad" who exhibited dozens of old Sherburn photos at launch of the 1st book, has also agreed to exhibit photos of Sherburn which he's taken over the years showing 'changing village scenes'. In this 2nd book Anne has tried to capture the spirit of the Victorian era and included details of people who lived in Sherburn and interesting events which took place in the village throughout Victoria's reign, as well as a few late 19C photos, sketches and other illustrations. Some events are happy, some sad even tragic, while others are extra-ordinary or amusing. The Book is the same size as her first book "Sherburn - A 20th Century History" and costs £7.50/ copy. She still has copies of her first book available. Please contact Anne direct for any orders. Her email is: derrick@collieruk.freeserve.co.uk Please forgive me for publishing this, but all profits from the project are for good causes, and Anne's books are usually goldmines of names for family history research from the area.
