Peter Burr Archive

The Archive

Start of Cross Country Run, 1953
Peter Burr has lived in Cople most of his life and, with the help of his family, has collected a fascinating archive of family and village historical articles.

Burr Bros. 1939
These include family photographs, stories, postcards and newspaper cuttings. Peter has kindly allowed us to scan many of these items for the web site.

The first Mother's Union?
The pages have been scanned as placed in a separate album in the Cople Photo library. At present these have not be sorted, catalogued or indexed. You are welcome to browse through these pages and discover the interesting gems they contain.
