ASTON MUSEUM/HERITAGE CENTRE
It was always been my aim to house my collection somewhere in Aston for public display and enjoyment, but that dream, in 2019, is extremely unlikely to come true. The village has changed so much in the 53 years that I have lived here. Interest in local history has greatly diminished, though my exhibitions of photographs have always been well attended. My last commemorated the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One and was very successful except that the accompanying book 'Our Brave Lads' did not sell well in Benington or Aston.

Some of the collection on display at the 'Aston Then and Now'exhibition in October 1983 at the School.
