I started the Fremington Heritage and History page on Facebook 10 years ago, we have 1,700 members who use the page as a place to share photos of Fremington and the community. We have a great community in Fremington. Here is a link to our Facebook group. It is searchable and there are a considerable amount of photos on there. Also regular posts of relevant newspaper clippings from Peter Christie keep up an interest!

I’m going to start gathering bits of info off of the fb page and adding my own research/ observations/ photos etc. As I’ve mentioned before I would like to have a place to dump my ideas and research.
