Welcome to Aldermaston History Online

Aldermaston History Online is the  community heritage archive for the Aldermaston area.

Aldermaston is on the Hampshire/West Berkshire border in England. On this site you can explore, comment and contribute to fascinating collections of local history and heritage material including photos, documents, articles and personal stories.

As a new website any feedback and comments is most welcome.

Our thanks are owed to National Lottery players whose support, through a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, has made this project possible.

  • Polly Corbishley – Village Memories 1954-1963

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for this as we now have permission to reproduce the article on the website … for a small consideration. Just do an onsite search for ‘Tatler’ and you’ll find it.

    Mike,

    Thank you so much for the research. I did find the article and it’s really interesting. I have written to seek permission to reproduce on the website , so we’ll wait and see. I’ll also let Polly know.

    Regards

    Chris

    Polly (and other readers) may like to know that the Tatler magazine article she recalls seems to be available on the British Newspaper Archive website. It’s the 29th March 1961 edition, over several pages with photos.
