Historical Account of Outwell

The speaker at the February meeting was William Smith, and his talk was a ‘Pictorial views of Outwell’.
This report is unfortunately brief; due to the fact the talk was pictorial.
William talk took us on a trip of the village of outwell. The first slide compared views from the top of the church tower, towards the mill, at two different dates I was surprised at how little it had changed. During the talk we visited the canal, pubs, shops and houses, often comparing now and then pictures. We also met people and some families, of the village – many who were related to people attending the meeting.
As our summer visit we will be visiting Outwell church on June 26th 2014.
The talk created lots of reminiscing during the drinks after.
