‘Remembering Long Eaton, Beeston and Chilwell’, a new publication edited by local author Julia Powell was officially launched by The Deputy Mayor of Erewash, Cllr Chris Corbett at Heaps Stationers, Main Street, Long Eaton on Saturday 16th December 2017.
In launching this collection of memories of folk living locally Chris said " I have greatly enjoyed reading this new book and would encourage residents interested in Long Eaton, Beeston and Chilwell during the 50s, 60s and 70s to put this on their Christmas list."
Despite freezing weather Stuart at Heaps and Julia were pleased to greet many of the contributors to the new book and also customers eager to purchase signed copies. During the morning stories in the book evoked more memories for those who had lived in Long Eaton, Beeston and Chilwell in days gone by. Three people discovered they had all been born in the same nursing home on Broadgate in Beeston while others shared memories of Long Eaton schooldays.
This is Julia’s second collection of reminiscences, the first ‘I Remember When’ being published in 2016. Both publications are available at Heaps in Long Eaton.
