A FORMER Radcliffe man is masterminding a project to mark the 60th anniversary of VE Day and the end of the Second World War.
Oral history professional, Ken Howarth, who lived in Radcliffe for many years, moved to North Wales when he retired five years ago but has been commissioned by Manchester City Council to produce the oral history project inviting residents to share their memories of the war years.
The project aims to record people's experiences of living in Manchester during the war and of those who saw service or lived in other parts of the world during the conflict.
Residents of Radcliffe, who once lived in Manchester city centre, can share their experiences as part of the scheme, to be recorded on an audio CD. Mr Howarth, who will manage the project, founded the North West Sound Archive in 1979, and master copies of the recordings will be preserved there.
Ken can be contacted on 01492 584113 or by e-mail warmemories1@btinternet.com
