The Betty Gibbs Cuttings Collection
Mrs Betty Gibbs started collected newspaper articles from local papers in 1968, She kept a eye out right up to 2014 and so created a treasure trove of all things connected with Nether Whitace Parish over the years. We are grateful to her for keeping such an array of minute information. Each scrapbook has been digitally photographed in correct order and exactly as Betty stuck the items in. No effort has been made to open booklets or other folded information so that you really feel like you are thumbing through the real books which are now housed safely with the Coleshill Civic society.
