Welcome To The Rodbourne Community History Group
We are committed to recording the rich history of this special community of Rodbourne and making it available to everyone.
We are not just about the bricks and mortar, but the people who lived in and made Rodbourne the flourishing community it is today.
We’ve collected photographs, plans and memories and hope to make them all available through this site. This is a slow and complicated process which relies heavily on the work of volunteer members so we hope you will bear with us while we try to get it right.
Want to comment, ask a question or find an old friend? Please do!
Better still why not post one of your memories of Rodbourne on the site. Funny, tragic or just a bit of information it doesn’t matter. Just go to the Memories page and send your contribution.
Remember ladies, if you can let us know your Maiden name as well this will help old Rodbournites to remember you.
10th Anniversary
This year is the 10th Anniversary of our Group. Initially set up as the Rodbourne Living Story Project in 2003 we renamed ourselves in 2005 to the Rodbourne Community History Group. To celebrate we are having special events throughout the year so keep up to date by viewing our Anniversary page.
