A Discovery

Between February 2020 and October 2021, due to the Covid epidemic, the regular weekly meetings of the Carcroft and District Local History Society were suspended.  In this 18 month hiatus, there was a re-organisation at the Redmond Centre.  During this time, a number of mount card presentation panels, twelve in all, were found in a store.  They were each A1 size, (23.4 by 33.1 inches).  

These illustrated the history of Carcroft and the neighbouring villages and we understand that they were made many years ago by past members, for a display at the Doncaster Museum or at the local library at Carcroft, (now closed). One of the panels is shown, (right).

During the first meeting after Covid in October 2021, current members were able to inspect this fascinating set of display panels. We thought it very unfortunate that there was no place these days to display the product of some devoted work.

This internet site has been created to try to present this invaluable material in the form of web pages.

Initially, we look at what was on the Carcroft board and then the boards of Skellow, Owston and Adwick le Street.
