Does anyone have any old photographs of the Southwood hamlet and/or
common and in particular of what is now Southwood Cottage(s)? I
would be interested in obtaining copies, electronic or otherwise of
selected individual photographs.
Given the spate of burglaries, I wondered if we can develop a 'self-help' network. I know we have ideas on web cams etc and that is good but to take my own house as an example, what should I be doing to make it more secure? Is there anyone in Martley who would be able to offer free advice, rather in the way we offer help to those with troublesome PC's? Someone who knows about basic things like window locks, secure door locks as well as internal alarms, Wifi kit and so on. If you go to a shop--where do you start? Call in a 'paid' expert and he or she will fleece you. A lot of this is a DIY exercise but advice is needed. Prehaps I'll try the net but I thought a community initiative would be a good idea.
Thoughts?
