Personal memories gathered to map community trail

Family traditions or recollections of local events are wanted as part of the community trail development

People's stories, memories and reflections are being collected for an accessible interactive trail in North Devon.

North Devon Council said the Museum of Barnstaple and North Devon hoped to capture real-life experiences of places in Barnstaple as part of a new community trail on digital platform Humap.

It said the museum wanted the community to contribute personal memories and stories, such as family traditions or recollections of local events.

Anita Nathwani, assistant curator at the museum, said: "We hope the community trail will become a living record of the town as seen through the eyes of the people who know it best."

She added: "Together, we can build a map that tells Barnstaple's story, one memory at a time."

The council said contributions were welcome from people of all ages and backgrounds.
