Chris Darlington Biography

Over the years Chris has helped lots of local people to record their memories and brought them to life in books, sometimes local plays and a C D. Subjects Chris has tackled over the past eight years have ranged from local sporting and industrial history, to true stories of our local evacuees and war memories.
During this time Chris has also helped many people find out about their own family history and his projects have brought together many long lost friends, including three evacuees who had lost touch for nearly sixty years.
Chris has found over the years that local people’s memories are equally as important as the famous people of our locality. He hopes to build up this community website to help preserve local people’s memories for our future generations to come.
Chris is looking forward to hearing local people’s memories on all subjects and to seeing any photographs people would like to send into the website, he is hoping to grow this website over the next two years until it becomes a valuable community resource for all of us to share and enjoy in the future.
