Rural Heritage

 Rural Bridgend’s History and Heritage - new and exciting project

Stitching together the rural landscape is a new project which aims to work with rural communities to develop a local storytelling patchwork of rural heritage.

 It will celebrate past industry, pastimes, sports, key historical events, local personalities, music and choirs, the arts and family history that are intrinsic qualities of rural life. The creation of a rural histories website will perform the role of a central portal for stories, pictures, poetry, video diaries, and interviews.

The project is already underway with a Digital Story being created about Island Farm Prisoner of War Camp and people’s memories of WWII in Bridgend.


If you have any stories, pictures or poetry relating to Bridgend County’s rural history & heritage, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Nicola Lewis on 01656 815059 or via email to nicola.lewis3@bridgend.gov.uk
