Following the success of last year's NGfL Environment Challenge, the
National Grid for Learning is running an online local history trail.

The trail - which can be accessed at www.ngfl.gov.uk/localhistory
- features online activities to help people use the internet to discover
more about their local area.

The trail has three main areas: quizzes, investigations and the gallery.

Everyone who sends in a contribution to website will be entered into a prize
draw to win a year's family membership of English Heritage.

The local history trail runs from 24 February to 25 April 2003.

Free posters publicising the trail are available by emailing the NGfL
Content Team at [log in to unmask]
