Clements Hall were highly commended in the e-publication category for their online resources exploring the impact of the First World War on the Scarcroft, Clementhorpe and South Bank areas of York. Following a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, they worked on a two year research project. Topics include:
- The influence of local churches
- The May 1916 Zeppelin attack
- The Impact of the War on Scarcroft School
- Food shortages
- The contribution of women
- Conscience and the call to arms in WW1
- Mental Nursing and the Great War
You can also find a list of local men who died in the area and those listed on the Scarcroft School memorial. The website is developed by SeeGreen.
We are increasingly impressed with the quality of resources this category, which suggests that web services and tools are becoming more accessible to community history projects.
