Coates, Cambridgeshire: A One-Place Study

I have come across a Facebook 'page' about The History of Whittlesey which includes some images from Coates. I have contacted them to see if I can upload them.

I am busy writing reports at school so this is the first chance I have had to write about last weekend.  I spent Saturday in Peterborough Library going through the filmed copies of the Peterborough Advertiser.  In this newpaper correspondents from villages in the area (and the paper covered a wide area at the turn of the 20th century) - including Coates - would write about the goings on in their neck of the woods. I found some interesting articles.  It took me all day to go from 1900 to 1906; that's about an hour per year.

Today (Friday) I have had an email from a researcher in Australia so I have been able to send them a little information.
