Arbury Cambridge Video 2 - Over 2,000 Years in just over Two Minutes!


We recently uploaded our second Arbury Cambridge YouTube video, another whirlwind tour of Arbury from the Iron Age right up to the North Cambridge Academy! We included a couple of quotes from the oral history contributions to the original Arbury Archive and much more, and we're very happy with it.

We've also included a tribute to our sadly missed Arbury Archivist Debbie Brett to close on.

Thanks so much for all the support we've received, many terrific comments and lovely e-mails.

We are now averaging around 4,000 page views per month, so our dream of having a positive Arbury space online, and re-establishing exactly where Arbury is, are attracting interest.

Andy, Debbie's husband, the creator of the original Arbury Archive back in 1983 (inspired by the work of teacher and historian Sallie Purkis in History Today magazine, the Arbury 1980 project and the 1981 book, Arbury Is Where We Live!) has been hearing about early 21st Century life at Bellerbys College on the Manor School site from a teacher there, and his new article will be blogged soon.
