Next Monday at the Arthur Wilson Centre, Pickup Street C.L.M. 19th August
1:00 p.m. - 7 p.m. there's an exhibition of photos taken in and around Clayton from 1900 to 2000.

Photos kindly loaned by the family of the late Jack Thornton.

For one day only - ? words fail me. I will try to get over.

Whoever it was who recently posted about a book on Clayton - get down there and talk to the family with a view to getting a book published to raise funds for a Clayton cause. I don't want to do it,. but I will gladly advise.
