Town Digital Heritage Trails

In 2016 we produced six digital heritage trails for Ashby using Historypin. Each trail takes visitors round the town on a different theme.

Digital Story Telling

In February and March of 2014 we worked with members of the St Helen's Church community in Ashby to enable them to produce their own personal digital stories.
