Historical Articles written by Our Members and External Contributors for 2011

Sadly due to austerity cuts we are short of funding to produce our History Alive- Tameside magazine for 2011.

We have, however, created this space where articles will shortly begin to appear. Anyone wishing to contribute ahould send their articles in electronic format to Jill Cronin for pre editing at: jillc4@btinternet.com. We will no longer be limited on space and can include large good quality images. Remember though, that people reading articles on-line prefer short paragraphs with lots of white space and good images.

To make Jill's job as Editor and mine as Webmaster easier, please download a copy of our suggested quidelines. articleguidelines.pdf Please get writing.
