Alne Annals - Information and Updates
History Item : Alne Annals
The 2024 edition is now available.
The 2024 edition of Alne Annals is two-and-a-half times as big as the original and contains many more photographs. It is not a history and it is not a chronology, but it is a collection of tales from many authors and publications from many sources. It thus forms a fascinating insight into the village and parish of Alne, its people and its pastimes over the years.
New for this edition:
- Nearly 100 more pages of Alne archives.
- Many more maps and photos.
- The Story of Gale Garth and Gale Road.
- Dating the pre-WW1 photos of Alne Station.
- Award-winning author Charity Norman, daughter of Vicar Norman, tells us of her childhood memories in Alne in the 1960s.
- Six histories of interesting Alne houses.
- The Coronavirus Plague in Alne, 2020-2022 and comparison to earlier plagues.
- A miscellany of interesting dates and their sources such as: When was the village pond filled in?
- A miscellany of anecdotes such as: Why isn’t the Village Hall at Spout Dyke Corner?
