Coffee Mornings and Open Evenings held at the Senior Citizens Centre, Broadmeadow Lane, Great Wyrley. All other events will state where.

Born in Wyrley, but where are you now?

We would like to hear from people that were born and raised in the village but no longer live in Great Wyrley. We would like to know where in the World are you now? Maybe you are a mile down the road or even living in Australia. We’d love to know why you moved from Wyrley and ended up living where you are today. How old were you when you moved? Any remaining relatives still in Great Wyrley? Maybe you have some photos from when you lived in the village? and a photo of you now, if we get enough photos be could do a ‘Then & Now’ story for our society magazine.
This is just research for the History Society, we are interested to find out why people left the village & if they still reminisce about living in Great Wyrley. Please send any photos to: photos@greatwyrleylocalhistorysociety.co.uk
