Proposed sequel to “Prefab Days”

Project Group Members have indicated a desire to publish a sequel to Prefab Days. It is envisioned that the new book should be published in December 2008 but this is entirely dependent on source material being submitted by ex-prefab dwellers. It is not intended that this would be a copy of the first book if you have any new ideas or memories and photographs you wish to have included in the book please let the Prefab Project Secretary have the details as soon as possible, but before the end of March 2008. Photographs must be in jpeg format. Please indicate your consent to the photograph becoming copyright of the Belle Vale Prefab Project to prevent any problems on publication. It would be helpful to identify people on the photo especially if they are not members of your own family. All submissions should be sent to the Prefab Project Secretary at bvpp@blueyonder.co.uk

Gateacre Society

The Gateacre Society is a sister organisation who have taken an interest in the Belle Vale Prefab Project, and both communities shared common boundaries. Many of the members of the Gateacre Society are ex prefab dwellers and there is an obvious shared interest in the history of our area. To this end it has been agreed that both web sites should contain links to each other and a visit to the Gateacre Society web site will rekindle old memories. Select the following link www.gatsoc.org.uk
