Now I think it is pretty much fair to say that we don’t do recent history very well.
Take for instance Chorlton Book Festival which runs from November 18 to November 26.*
This will be the twelfth “with more events and authors than ever before, including Costa Book Award winning author Andrew Michael Hurley, best-selling crime and thriller writers Rachel Abbott and Paul Finch and a murder in the library!”*
But when I went looking for the record of the past years I found very little on the net.
Of course I may have been looking in the wrong place and I bet Chorlton Library have shedloads of
pictures.
But I am interested in what people remember of some of the events and the pictures they took.
I did come across a nice piece in Archives + from 2013 and I kept some of the pictures taken of the talks and walk I did from the first back in 2011, but there must be lots more.
So that is the challenge .......... lets restore a bit of the history of one of our festivals.
