The History of Mental Health Care around Hitchin

On Saturday 29th October our member Mike Clarke's book on the history of mental health care in the Hitchin area, "Cold Baths Don't Work", was launched at Centenary House, Grammar School Walk.

A Century of Old Hitchin on Film

The following Saturday, 5th November, we launched Richard Whitmore's DVD: A Century of Old Hitchin on Film at the Studio Cinema at the Queen Mother Theatre. This is a fascinating collection of early films of the town and its people from 1911 which have been lovingly restored and compiled into a DVD lasting almost two hours. A bargain at only £10.
