Celebrating local heritage
ATF is thankful to Heritage Fund UK, whose support has enabled a range of in-depth projects, helping local residents explore and celebrate the rich history and culture of South Essex.
ATF’s most recent project Time Will Tell has supported children, families and young people to discover the rich and fascinating history of Basildon, which reaches far beyond its short history as New Town, and back through the middle ages, the Saxon era and even into prehistoric times!
Time Will Tell uncovers much of Basildon’s often untold story through a collection of new Heritage trails, an online resource pack for schools and a selection of audible memories of those who have spent their lives in the town.
