Rose's Store Project

 

INTRODUCTION

For this first project, memories and present day stories about Mickleham village shop, “Rose’s Store”, were collected. For generations the shop has been at the heart of the community, providing a meeting place, a source of gossip and the everyday essentials of life.

Over a period of six months in 2013 some 20 people were interviewed, resulting in 17 digital recordings. Each recording has been given an index number as a unique identifier. In many cases photographs and other relevant documents were added to the individual recordings and these are available under the same index number. This is the complete and unedited version; a shorter, edited version will be available in due course. 

The History Group extends grateful thanks to all those who very generously contributed to this inaugural project. Special thanks must be given to Surrey County Council for funding the purchase of specialist computing and recording equipment and to Surrey History Centre for the loan of equipment and for their invaluable professional advice. 

An article about the project, entitled "Village store stories"  by Alan Crosby, has been published in Who Do you Think You Are? magazine, Summer 2016, p70
