Stone Town Council Information Saturday 16 August Local History Talk 'When the war came to Stone and areas' - Shaun Farrelly 14.00 - 16.00 Heritage Centre Stone Town Council The advent of the Second World War affected the whole of North Staffordshire, not least in Stone and the surrounding villages. In a predominantly rural area, Stone, and some local villages like Yarnfield suddenly assumed a remarkably high profile. Had it not been for those changes, the whole area would have seen little local impact. As it is, the area played a significant role in that war and the aftermath is still apparent today. How did this happen? Sunday 17 August Florence Brass Band Concert & Burma Star Commemoration 14.00 - 16.00 Stonefield Park
