HELSTON HISTORY
WEB PAGE UPDATE HISTORY
Thanks for looking at this web page which was started on 13th October 2007 in order to keep a track of all the updates to the Helston History Web Site.
As I`m sure you can imagine, since I started the site in 2002 it has just grown and grown and I thought it would be a good idea to keep an online record so that you could look over what has been added just in case you miss something.
Best wishes
