Announcement |
Chris Hillyard It is with deep sadness that the Society has to advise that our Chairman, Chris Hillyard, passed away on Saturday 19th October. Chris was very passionate about history and ensuring that the conservation of Roade's past was remembered by all. He wrote the book "Cutting Remarks" about the social history and engineering of the building of Roade Cutting and all sales proceeds of said book, he gave to the Society to ensure that future projects could be undertaken to preserve the history of the village. Chris leaves us a legacy of all the work he put in and we will truly miss him and all that he gave to the Society. We send our condolences to his family. |
