In 2009, members of the Sutton Poyntz History Group received training in the use of the recording equipment, and conducted a number of interviews with people with long memories of Sutton Poyntz. The recordings were sent on to the Ridgeway Heritage Project team, who identified notable short extracts and short stories. We have kept copies of these recordings, which can be heard by clicking the links below:
