Westbourne Local History Group
The History Group’s March meeting:-
“Westbourne Notables”
led by Nigel Peake will take place on March 17 at 7pm
at “The Meeting Place”, North Street, Westbourne.
ADMISSION FREE
Some publicity as been released by accident giving the date as February 17.
This is incorrect, apologies
Due to ill heath our January and February meetings are being slipped back by a month or so, i.e. there will be no meeting in January.
Thus the meeting
“WWII in Westbourne”.
will take place on February 11th at 2pm
As before there will be a mini exhibition based on our former member Tom Edwards’ collection followed by Roger Wilding telling some of Tom’s stories and an open forum for memories.
And the meeting
“Westbourne Notables”
led by Nigel Peake will take place in March, date t.b.c.
ADMISSION FREE to all meetings. Both the above at “The Meeting Place”, North Street, Westbourne.
For the latest, view
After 4 years I’m delighted to announce that Westbourne Gardens Open Day is back so please hold the date – Sunday 18th June 2023 – after the past few years we hope this celebration of the gardens and gardeners of the village will bring a cheerful lift to 2023 for all the villiage.
Happy New Year

This item is aimed at those unable to visit the village.
The Local History Group has been pleased to assist the Parish Council
in producing and installing an Artwork about Westbourne’s past.
We have added an image of it to our photos section so that there one readily
and permanently available to those further afield.
It has replaced a (not very impressive) informal notice board in a window alcove
of the former bakery by the Co-op.
If passing, the original is even more impressive.
Come and say hello at the Parish Assembly !
The Group will have a Stand at the Parish Assembly on June 18.
