Speak Out, O Chief Executive

Apparently Epsom and Ewell Council is one of the best councils to work for (probably because the community they serve is so amazing... but I digress). Bemused is disappointed to note that the Chief Executive's blog doesn't appear to be visible on the public Internet, though.

Exploring Surrey's Past...

This week's local Guardian mentions a new web site that has been created by Surrey Heritage, called Exploring Surrey's Past.

It's drawn together information from many sources -- archaelogical records, museum collections, old photos and the like -- to let locals and not-so-locals find out more about their areas of interest. It's organised such that one can either search using a keyword, or can browse the site via a collection of themes; either people, places or times.

Here is the main page for Ewell.

I can see this site getting a lot of traffic from those looking for information for school projects, as well as those just browsing for general interest!
