What makes Harleston special?
The A B C of distinctiveness
Last autumn Harleston Development Partnership held an event looking at what makes Harleston special.
A group of people got together to consider things that made Harleston unique and tried to come up with something for every letter of the alphabet.
A B C
We thought about things that can be seen and also those that are unseen such as friendliness and maybe ghosts!
There were many suggestions including ‘M’ for Magpies and ‘S’ for Stone, ‘I’ for independent shops and ‘A’ for atmosphere.
It was such an interesting, fun thing to do we have decided to do more work on this and prepare postcards, a wall chart or booklet with the complete A B C.
However, before we do this we would like your help, could you spare a few minutes to prepare your own A B C ?
Maybe as you fly off on your holiday or as you sunbathe in the garden(!) there will be time to think about what is special and distinct about the town?
We would also like children and young people to give us their Harleston alphabet, this could be words, pictures or photographs.
Blank A B C forms are available from Harleston Information Plus, (or just jot your thoughts on a piece of paper).
Completed A B Cs should be returned to:
Harleston Information Plus at 8 Exchange Street by 1st September.
Or send us an email:
We will keep you posted and put the final A B C on the Waveney Valley Blog.
