SALTASH BLUE PLAQUE TRAIL
Along with the erection of seven Blue Plaques at prominent places around the town, the Saltash Blue Plaque Trail was launched at the recent Saltash Heritage A.G.M.
The plaques were officially 'opened' by HRH Duchess of Gloucester on Thursday 15th September 2016, and you can take the trail at any time by picking up a leaflet at the Museum, Local History Centre, Guildhall or Saltash Library.
The plaques commemorate various Saltash people and the places they lived, but the trail passes several other locations of note. The trail leaflet has a map, as well as full directions, and compass bearings from one location to the next, so children of all ages can try a spot of map and compass work. Small compasses are available for sale in the museum if you want a go.
Blue Plaques: Ferdinand "Nandie" Keast, Admiral Sir Henry Jackson, Admiral Gordon Campbell, V.C., John Henry Martin, William Odgers, V.C., Anne Glanville, Lt. Colonel William Price Drury

THREE DVDs OF IMAGES FROM THE SALTASH HERITAGE COLLECTION NOW AVAILABLE
A selection of images from the Saltash Heritage Collection have been displayed on the appointments screen at Saltash Health Centre. There have been many enquiries as to whether these can be purchased, so they have now been released on DVD, with proceeds being split between Saltash Heritage and the Friends Of Saltash Health Centre. The first DVD was so popular, that two more have been produced, each showing a different selection of approximately 70 images of Saltash and the surrounding areas in times past. Priced at just £6.00 they will make an ideal gift to bring back many memories of old Saltash. On sale at the Museum, or by post (This email address is being protected from spambots.
