These interview
extracts are a greatly expanded version of the material which was used for
our book Sea-change: Wivenhoe Remembered.
This web
selection, the book and the accompanying DVD are the outcome of
`Remembering Wivenhoe’, a community oral history project which has been
based on voluntary contributions of many kinds.
The material has been arranged into subjects. Use the hotlinks below to explore this material and
gain a feeling for what made Wivenhoe the place it is today by reading the
transcribed interviews.
If you would like to offer any comments on any
of the memories, corrections and further memories
please do get in touch with us by e-mail:
The grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund is
gratefully acknowledged and without which this project would not have
taken place.
