My Grandfather Peter Hay and Rev. Lavalette had the same hobby that was breeding Budgerigars. Rev. Lavalette had well over 150 birds my Grandfather 50 to 60 birds both had inside and outside aviaries.

When Hugh Hay retired from ICI the Hay family had over 180 years service as joiners back to Peter Hay`s Grandfather.

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
