C. Turner in 1984, &#8216;Down Memory Lane&#8217; is a collection of memories gathered together\u00a0by\u00a0the people of Platt from\u00a0the late 19th and early\u00a020th Century. They were initially\u00a0recorded\u00a0in the late 1970s\/early 1980s, and spiral bound together in two A4 photocopied volumes by Mrs. Turner. A number of copies still exist today in the village, and it was decided to make the two facsimiles\u00a0available for the first time as one complete book by the Platt Memorial Hall in 2016. The reprint was published to mark the closure of the first Platt Memorial Hall, and to celebrate the opening of the new building.
