A successful slideshow and archive day was held in the Village Hall on Saturday 4^th April.  It was a chance to find out about the history of Ullenhall and look at items from the past, such as the inscribed prize-winners cups from Ullenhall School, old tiles from Barrells Hall and an old bottle labelled ‘Allcott’s Table Water, Ullenhall’.  This business was run by Mr. Allcott, baker and grocer, who had the premises now known as ‘The Old Bakery’ in the first half of the 20^th Century.  The Village Books were also on display and proved very popular.  A DVD of photos was shown four times during the day; these included Fetes that were held on the Vicarage lawn, interior views of Barrells Hall as it used to be and the redevelopment of St. Mary’s Close.  It would have been nice to have seen a few more faces both old and new; however it was an enjoyable day.  It was lovely to see several former residents and thank you to all who came.
