Kegworth Heritage Plaques
If you are using a smartphone or small tablet you’d best rotate your device to landscape for the best viewing experience.
Information has been gathered by volunteers at Kegworth Heritage Centre using our own archives, “Keguth Pubs, A Time Traveller’s Guide", by James McKay and Kegworth, "An Apple a Day - A History of the Kegworth & Gotham Medical Practices” by Susan D Brompton as well as our own publication, "Kegworth: Aspects of History". Photos are from the KHC photography collection or taken by KHC volunteers. The Plaques themsevles were manufactured by Practical Minds.
Clicking on a property will flip between images of the building from the past and the present. As you move between photos the previous one will reset. The link at the top of each entry will take you to a full page of more information and photos. Each individual page will be maintained independently and information may be added, removed or modified as our knowledge grows and improves.
By the way - if you’re viewing this on a small tablet or smartphone you’d best rotate your device to landscape mode.
