People in Eccleshall

Like any community, Eccleshall is made up of people, some famous, some even infamous, some ordinary - all of whom go together to make Eccleshall what it is and what it was.

The whole site does not concentrate on distant past it includes recent past, since yesterday is now also past.

Some of the photographs serve to remind us of people who helped to make Eccleshall what it was, not necessarily gone but moved on or retired.
