Site designed by Richard Kirton.

We describe this ‘Plus’ site as the overspill to the original site which was designed by Geoff Bell in the year 2000 and used older deprecated technologies. The group expresses their thanks to Terry Mumford for his hard work in maintaining the site over the previous eight years. It had reached a point with Terry whereby his work commitments made it increasingly more difficult for him to continue maintaining the site.

It was felt therefore that, with more and more photographs building up in the backlog, we should consider our options for maintaining our website facility. Richard Kirton suggested that the ideal solution would be to create a new site which would enable the inclusion of some of the later website technologies and he volunteered to redesign the site and maintain it for the foreseeable future.

It was agreed that the new site would supplement the ‘Original Site’. We have added more resources with the sharing of the existing ‘Wakering & District Heritage’ website and this has been renamed ‘Barling & Wakering Heritage’. We have also added a dedicated Farming Supplement which contains interviews and audio from some of our local farmers, who have shared their experiences though the years. It is hoped that anybody with an interest in our area will be able to find and research and enjoy all four sites and switch between them easily.

As before, there are no particular restrictions with regards to what should or should not be published on the site as long as all of the submissions are relevant to Barling and surrounding parishes. Please send your pictures and stories either to Peter Griffiths or directly to Dawn Bailey. You will find full contact details in the Contact Us Page, or just click on either name above and your Mail Program should open.
