Memory Morning at Sandown Library

Thanks to all those who came along to the Memory Morning event. It was held by Independant Arts. where everyone was invited to come in for a tea or coffee, and have a chat about their memories of the Sandown area. A selection of old photographs that have recently been posted to the library were displayed, and many places were identified.

An archivist recorded all the facts, and these will be put together with other Memory Morning events across the Island to create a large display later in the year.
