A Nice Place To Be
Yes, after a month off in August your bakers and coffee makers are raring to go again, and looking forward to seeing everyone at the September Coffee Morning on Saturday 27th September.
We will be in the village hall, with coffee brewing from 10.30 – 12.00 and lining up luscious cakes for your enjoyment, so come along and see us. We’d love to see you!
We are so lucky that Geoff Butter saved this wonderful scrap book which was compiled by our village WI members in 1965. It gives us a real snapshot of life in each calendar month in the village as well as nationally. What a treasure!
And now, thanks to our volunteer Pete Bruty, this treasure is uploaded onto the Adderley Heritage website for you to enjoy as well. Go and have a look. Some of you will remember people who are in the photographs, or, who knows, you might find one of a younger you!!
Go to Adderleyheritage.co.uk Go to the Search box and type in Scrap Book WI and all will be revealed. Such a treasure trove…….. If you then want to look at a broader range of images type in Adderley WI and you will find images and articles created over the years by people in our community.
If there is information that you can add or something you would like to correct on any page please let us know
It may not seem like a big deal if that balloon flies away, (unless you’re a toddler, then its the end of the world). It may seem like a lovely idea to release one in remembrance of someone, and an even better one to release lots of them to celebrate a special occasion….. BUT DON’T!!
They can kill or maim livestock and wildlife, by choking, trapping or strangling and swallowing one can lead to a slow and painful death. Vets bills to operate on a cow to remove such blockages are astronomical.

Thanks to the work of dedicated volunteers and in particular, Peter Bruty, we have been able to edit and upload some amazing new images for you to enjoy on the Adderley Heritage Website.
Amongst other things there are some priceless images of every single page of the Autograph Books kept at Raven House during and after the 1914/18 First World War when it was a convalescent hospital for injured soldiers, and subsequently the Edith Cavell Rest homes for nurses.
Some of the stories, messages and poetry in this book will give you cause to reflect, bring a tear to your eye or just appreciate the capturing of such a treasured part of Adderley History. Follow this link http://www.adderleyheritage.co.uk Go to Search and type in Raven House or Notes from soldiers and you will be rewarded with hours of beautiful images to peruse. Go and enjoy and tell us what you think or if it triggers any memories shared by relatives who lived in that time.
Originals of these images will all be kept at Shropshire Archive to preserve them, they are very precious and delicate.
