Photographs
We would love to receive any photographs that you have of Sandbach in former times and, with your permission, we will add them to our website. For example, the old photographs of Fodens (Edwin Foden Sons & Co Ltd; the world-famous truck and bus company founded in Elworth, near Sandbach) on this website were donated by Keith Wright, whose grandfather Albert Wright worked at the company and lived in Elworth.

We also received some photographs of Sandbach from the 1930s donated by Henry Thomas of Oswestry, who found them when going through some papers left by his father, Harold C. Thomas, who died some time ago. See https://sandbachhistorysociety.org.uk/new-photos/
