Thatcham: then and now (update)

I wrote a post about Thatcham: then and now a while ago. I have now (October 2011) completed the book and it is being put togehter, the layout and artwork anyway, by the publisher ready for a July 2012 release. It has been a fantastic project and has spawned several other projects. One is to produce another book for the same publisher, The History Press.  I will give details of this new book in due course.

Others I am working on and will deal with publishing at a later date. The other projects include:

  1. A look at Thatcham town centre, that is the Broadway and High Street through the ages;
  2. Social history of Thatcham, that is the people;
  3. The changing face of Thatcham through the ages;
  4. Memories of Thatcham;
  5. Notable families of Thatcham; and
  6. The archaeology of Thatcham.

And there are others. Some will be done entirely by myself, others I dare say will be group projects under Thatcham Historical Society. Please do comment, which would you like to see, have I missed one?  I will post more details later this month, but should you have any historical information, photos, etc. of Thatcham and the surrounding area, I would be more than interested in hearing from you.
