Pirton Local History Group

The group started to collect old photographs in 1976 and copies of many of these are deposited with Hitchin Museum in the Helen Hofton Collection. We are very grateful to all the people who have given these photos to enable viewers to see how the village has changed over the last hundred years.

We attended a course run by The Media Trust in Cambridge at the end of April and learnt how to tell our story using film, oral history and photographs. Delegates came from all over Eastern England. This is Helen being filmed giving an interview about the Pirton project
