Editorial Note

One of the primary objects of the Buckley Society is to foster interest in all aspects of the town's history through this magazine. Mr. Cropper's interesting article in this issue, on the Palace Cinema, will doubtless bring back happy memories to many readers. While Buckley's industrial past has been well covered in earlier issues, this is not true of its rich and varied social life and history, for which it is well-known throughout the county.

The editors would like more contributions, especially reminiscences of Buckley life in past times; please put pen to paper before it is too late to record them.
