MARSHLAND HISTORIES is an oral history project taking place during the autumn of 2024, devised for Suffolk Wildlife Trust by Poetry People and led by writer Dean Parkin to create a series of oral history 'picture podcasts' about the Lower Waveney Valley — the people, the places and surrounding marshland from Carlton Colville to Worlingham. 

​

The project was launched with an event & exhibition on  Sunday 1st September at Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve & Visitors Centre and attracted a crowd of 150+, followed by a day gathering memories at  Worlingham Fete. We'll also be attending Carlton Hall's Summer Fete on Sunday 15 September (1 to 4pm) — another chance to come and share your stories of the area and shed light on old photographs.
