The Duke of Edinburgh meeting the team at Crofton

Have you been involved in some way with Crofton Beam Engines in the past?

Have you been involved in some way with Crofton Beam Engines in the past? Do you know somebody who has?

Are you involved with the Kennet & Avon Canal now, or know somebody who is? Maybe living on the canal or working on the canal? Maybe you have a hobby on, or using, the canal? Or have some other connection?


If so, we would love people to talk about their time and memories with us at Crofton and on the K&A and have the chat recorded for our oral history archive so it may be used in exhibitions and activities in the future.


If you would like to be involved in our exciting National Lottery Heritage Fund supported Oral History Project please reply to this post or e-mail Catherine, OCS Project Assistant, at: crofton.siteassistant@katrust.org.uk and we will send more information about how you can take part.
