West End History
West End History Project
WEVS formally launched the West End History Project at the AGM on 18 January 2025.
The project will create a digital publicly accessible archive of historic photographs and other material, as a section on this website. This archive will complement local historian John Smith’s extensive collection of printed photographs and documents.
If you have any queries or contributions then please contact us at historyproject@wevs.org.uk.
West End, 800BC-100AD
An Iron Age (800BC to 43AD) settlement at Fairfield Lane was discovered in 2017, consisting of round houses, storage buildings, drains and iron slag – proof of iron smelting which indicates that it was a settlement of regional significance.
West End Village Society member, Guy Consterdine, researched and documented this discovery and presented his findings to the members at the 2018 AGM.
