A HISTORY website project helping people find out more about Malvern's past has been extended.

The Government-funded National Grid for Learning's local history trail, launched in February, has proved such a hit that it is being continued to take in Local History Month in May.

The project involves people putting their own memories and pictures on the website at www.ngfl.gov.uk/localhistory. Hundreds of contributions have been made so far, building up a map of local history.

NGfL content officer Helen Bader said: "We've been delighted with the response to the trail and we're keeping it open longer to give people in more time to contribute."
