Local History
Local Memories - Meriden
Are you curious about what life was like in this area in the past? Are you interested in looking at the history of a house or building, what was there before and who has previously lived there?
Meriden
Possibly the site of an Iron Age field system and reputed to be the centre of England, marked by the village cross. Also the site of a memorial to cyclists who died in the Great War.
We're actively collecting your memories of Meriden. Did you go to school here or work in the local area? Have you moved here more recently? Download our memory sheets and let us know what you think. We hope to feature your memories here.
