| Year started | ongoing |
| Source of reference | Brightlingsea website |
| Output | Series of booklets on the history of Brightlingsea |
| Notes | Over the years we have published ten
booklets - the Brightlingsea Heritage Series - each telling the
story of some aspect of growing up, living and working in the town as
remembered by those who were there. The group established a number
of working protocols, pro forma letters and information sheets to ensure people
understood who we were and what we were doing, to assure confidentiality and to
confirm that nothing would be published without prior permission. The next
project, The Pubs of Brightlingsea, is in preparation |
