Dronfield's Untold

Stories 



Celebrating the end of World War One by Hope Terrace - our exhibition will cover how Dronfield welcomed home it's war heroes.

In November 2018, Dronfield Heritage Trust will be hosting a commemorative exhibition to mark the end of World War One. The gallery will be an inclusive and interactive space where you can come to remember, to learn and to engage by providing your own stories and contributions. A limited-edition booklet will accompany the exhibition and an interactive screen will tell stories of Dronfield people, along with browsing books and artefacts from the period.
