Barrington Cement Works c1990s

Richard Cooper posted on the Haslingfield Facebook Page this photo of the Barrington Cement works when both chimneys were active. He thinks it was taken in the 1990s and no later than 1992. Anymore information would be greatly appreciated.

Sustainable Parish Energy Partnership

On the Haslingfield Village Facebook Page, Tom Clarke posted information about Sustainable Parish Energy Partnership (SPEP). It’s a group, supported by the district council, of volunteers across the villages of South Cambs running Sustainability/ Green/ Environmental projects and events. In Haslingfield there has been a village Energy day a couple of years ago and a Thermal Imaging camera project.

If you’re interested in sustainability/ Green/ Environmental projects or events across the region or want to be part of the discussion in organising them or generating ideas you may want to head across to the new Facebook group. Maybe you have a great project idea or are just willing to join a group of like minded people!
