Stories Of Our Town

Honoured to be asked by Lake Mac Libraries to attend a special exhibition at Swansea Library showcasing some newly unearthed hand written letters by the Reverend Threlkeld. These letter are almost 200yrs old and also fascinating and priceless. The deputy Mayor launched the exhibit and i was humbled to meet 7 Threlkeld descendants. Our Biraban and Threlkeld film is part of the display as well as images and artefacts connected to his work with Biraban. If you don't know who Threlkeld is, click the film like here. This is a story we all should be proud of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTPjS-dOKgg

So much more to do. It's a bloody big story. & Energy Union
