Publicity 2003-2011
The latest project to restore Deane Road Cemetery has been active since late 2002 and, more intensively, since 2006. We have received some great publicity in various forms and from various sources, much of which is reproduced below. It has not been possible to record and reproduce every word written or spoken, but the main pieces from 2003-2011 are here. As we work to include publicity pieces covering the period since 2011, this list is sure to grow.
