Enquiries continue to come in to info@bridgewatch.org.uk
A student studying architecture at Nottingham University has chosen Sutton Bridge as one of his subjects.
The proposed Marina Project continues to generate a lot of interest from companies specialising in marine engineering/supplies. We have also received enquiries from people requesting to be placed on the waiting list for berths at the proposed new marina.
Information has been received regarding foreign Prisoners of War who were held at the Prison Camp in Sutton Bridge. We are pleased to say that we have been successful in reuniting old friends.
Several other enquiries have been received from people tracing their family history, and we have been able to give the enquirers further leads to follow. The same enquiries have also given an added interest on life in Sutton Bridge in the 1950’s and we are still researching these, which will form the subjects of further articles on Our Town pages.

Research on this is still ongoing. Does anyone remember Peter Oldham? He was in the church choir in the 1960’s during which time he tells us there were photographs taken during various events and asks if any photos are available. So far we have made no progress with verbal enquiries and have made a request for help on this subject to be placed in the October issue of the Parish Magazine. If you can help please do contact us on info@bridgewatch.org.uk
