The site looks very new, not sure how much effort is going into it (sorry don't mean to offend anyone). |

Re: Hyndburn heritage
I think this has the makings of a good site.I shall suggest ideas on development to the webmaster/mistress. One such idea is to trawl through the postings in Famous Accringtonians on Accyweb and put them together.

Re: Hyndburn heritage
I too am a local history buff and have never come across this site. However on first glance iv read a lot of the individual subjects. It seems to me to be a compilation of local history books/texts that are in the reference library. Like the H anb B book and foul deeds and murders etc are books in their own right. Thats not to criticize btw, its just an observation as i think it could be a great site for reference.

Re: Hyndburn heritage
Upon further inspection it just looks like a catalogue of all local books. Not having a go, just merely pointing out that the more knowledgeable local historians for example will glean little new info from this site.

Just wish there was more info about the people/organisations behind the project - it's all a bit of a mystery. |
Re: Hyndburn heritage
Thinking about it though Groove, surely all Historical sites must bear reference to summat? or there would be sod all on em.:)

Re: Hyndburn heritage
The site is a personal project of mine that I haven't been able to work on for quite a few months due to work commitments. I wanted to catalogue lots of bits that cropped up in research in a more orderly and structured fashion. I had planned to look at local industry, landmarks, buildings, famous people as well as other bits and bats. I also wanted to cross reference articles like wikipedia does (links to the bullough family from the H&B article for example). Most articles are currently empty as you can see :(
The books were to be included as links at the bottom of articles as further reading suggestions if people liked the subjects. I think a few of yours are in there Bob ;) Obviously I haven't got that far yet. Feel free to comment / critique it. I welcome the input and will take no offence. It is very much a work in progress. The only reason I hadn't mentioned it sooner is because of it's incomplete nature. I had thought about opening it up to a few contributors in a Wikipedia style setup, but again this is something that I never got around to planning properly or doing. If anyone is interested let me know - I'm happy to accept help on it. I'll try and fill it out a bit more over xmas on some days off :) |
