Trimdon as it used to be...
It’s interesting to look at what has changed in our villages over the years. Some parts have barely changed at all, whilst others have been changed beyond recognition. The pictures and information in this section should bring back a few memories for the older residents, and show the younger ones’ just how much has changed in a relatively short time.
