New website for Yeovil history

PEOPLE can now learn a lot about the history and heritage of Yeovil and South Somerset - thanks to the introduction of a new website.

The Community Heritage Access Centre in Yeovil, a department of South Somerset District Council, has launched its new heritage website to better connect everybody to yesteryear; and all at the touch of a button.
 
The website features an innovative interactive timeline that you can scroll across to find stories and articles relating to various episodes of Somerset’s history.

The timeline is constantly expanding to bring you more content and more history.

News and contact sections bring you up-to-date with what is happening at the heritage centre as well as providing you with an easy, effective and quick avenue of communication.
 
However the jewel in the crown is the ever-growing collections area of the website dedicated to showcasing the artefacts themselves.

The website is a great opportunity to explore some of the hidden gems of Somerset and look back at a fantastic history, however don’t just take the council's word for it, visit and judge for yourselves at www.southsomersetheritage.org.uk .

The council's leisure and culture spokesman, Cllr Sylvia Seal, said: ''We are very pleased to announce the launch of our fantastic new heritage website.

''The website now gives more people the chance to look at the history of Somerset and there are some great areas for people to visit and view.”
