Shared an update: We've been down for around 3 weeks, following a catastrophic data loss and server crash at our hosting company. We will be moving hosting providers in the next few weeks to help avoid a repeat of such a disastrous outage.
We are also dropping the login wall for the time being to give new users a chance to look around following our outage. It's good to be back!

Shared an update: Looks like our hosting provider's servers were down for 5 or 6 hours overnight - many apologies for that ; unfortunately totally out of our control. 
All is well again now, though....

Shared an update: We couldn't add all 43,000+ place biographies in one go; if you feel that a place you're interested in is looking a little bereft, then add a biog request in the forum here: http://ourtownstory.co.uk/admin/forum/place-biography-requests

Shared an update: As we phase in the subscription fee, you'll notice that the site is no longer 'open access'. You can still sign up for free, but you will have to sign up in order to access Our Town Story....

Shared an update: A heads up here - we now have our 100 lifetime membership users, and are in the process of setting up the £19.99 annual subscription fee - a quarter that of Ancestry's - which is essential for us to be able to take Our Town Story to the next level (including an app to make the site work better with mobile phones!). This will most likely take effect from Friday 27th May 2016. Sign ups made before then will remain free - so this really is your last chance!
Thank you to all our lifetime subscription owners - we hope you enjoy Our Town Story as it develops, and your chance to say you were there at the start!

Shared an update: We are carrying out some upgrade work tonight (Saturday 23rd April), so you may see some odd presentation of images. This should only take a couple of hours, and all should be back to normal by the morning.
