Alford Image Library

This site is now hosted and managed by Alford Heritage Museum. Please contact the museum by email if you have any questions about the site. Please note that, as we are a volunteer run organisation, we are unable to undertake any genealogical or historical research on your behalf but we hope that you find the images of interest. Further details about the museum and its opening hours can be found on our web site.

Apologies to anyone who has sent photographs over the last few months, they have been received and safely stored along with the emailed information, but you will have noticed that they haven't been posted on the website yet and there is a considerable backlog which I am hoping to work on in the next few months. The delay has been due to an ongoing dispute with my service provider (TalkTalk) and a fault which took nearly seven months to rectify (a simple 15 minute visit from an engineer!). I have even involved Trading Standards, OFCOM and my MP, and I am pressing for this company's license to trade to be revoked.....it's that serious! Anyway, hopefully all will be back to normal before too much longer, and in the meantime, a very happy Christmas and here's wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year when that arrives.

There is to be a Lawson Clan Gathering on the 27th/28th March in Alford to coincide with the renovation and operation of Postie Lawson's Craigevar Express at the Grampian Transport Museum. Further details can be obtained from Bill Lawson (whose email address can be found amongst "Contributors" and associated with comments connected to Lawson related photographs).

On the weekend of 29th and 30th of August 2009 there will be an opportunity for anyone with old photographs of Alford and the surrounding area to bring them along to Alford Heritage Centre and Museum and have them scanned and the details permanently recorded for storage at the Heritage Centre and for inclusion on this website. This opportunity might be particularly useful for anyone without extensive access to a computer and a scanner who has interesting and precious photographs which they are prepared to share but unwilling to let out of their sight. You can then rest assured that your precious photographs and memories will be recorded for the benefit of future generations.
