Displays
Our group has researched and created dozens of local history displays, using our own collection and that of the Cheadle and District Historical Society. Initially these were for the Cheadle Discovery Centre, but following it's closure have mostly been hosted by Cheadle's Community Library.
Events
Cheadle Remembers the War Horses
This 2015 event was part of a larger Great War project managed by our group. The day recreated the events of August 1914, when horses from Cheadle and the local area were requisitioned by the army at the start of the Great War.

Video Content
As part of the Staffordshire Library Service's History Festival in 2021, two videos were made by our group related to displays that had been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Originally the videos were hosted on the Staffordshire County Council YouTube channel, but were later slightly re-edited and hosted on the Historic Cheadle YouTube Channel.

Harry Godwin Collection:
This consists of video footage recorded locally between the 1960s and early 2000s. Our group is currently digitalising the footage from 8mm film and VHS tapes, with the aim of holding small screening events and eventually making the footage available on YouTube.
