Projects
Tadley war memorial
As part of the national commemorations of the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I, TADS members researched the names of the men listed on Tadley War Memorial.
An exhibition displaying research on the 31 men from World War I listed on the memorial was held on 27 September 2014 and this was followed a year later by an exhibition on the 6 men from World War II listed on the memorial. Material from the exhibitions has also been displayed in Tadley Library, The Hurst Community College and St Paul's Church.

TADS continues to research the 37 men and would be delighted to receive information and photographs relating to any aspect of the Tadley Memorial and it's history.

Long-time TADS member, Iris Stanley, kept a record of the weather in Tadley over a period of years between 1981 and 2010. Her personal research has been added to the website; click here.
Medieval Tadley
The TADS project group is currently researching into the possible existence of a medieval village near to St Peter Church.
Blue Gown
Does any one know the whereabouts of a painting of the Derby winner 'Blue Gown', thought at one time to have been hanging in Hawley House. After some research TADS know that a painting did exist and that at some time it was probably sold through Sotherby's. The jockey was 'Tiny' Wells.
The Tadley Roll
There are written reports that a long roll was drawn by local resident during the early days of Tadley School. Probably similar in style to the Bayeux tapestry, it included pictures of many of the then local characters. If you know of roll, or anything s whereabouts, please tell us. If we ever find it we would dearly like to photograph it for future reference.
Are you researching a Tadley family?
If so then please contact us, as we will help if we can and of course any information you can give us would be most welcome.

Photos of Tadley website
Photos of Tadley, our sister website which has over 600 photos of Tadley from the early 1900s through to the present day is currently (Autumn 2014) undergoing a review and unfortunately, is not available to the public.
Photos of Tadley is always on the look out for new photos to add to the collection. Even photographs that are five years old would get displayed, as it is amazing how quickly the area changes.
If you have any photographs that you would not mind being displayed, or would like to enquire when the site might be available again, then please contact it either via e-mail (webmaster@photosoftadley.co.uk) or phone (0118 981 6376).
