History Day at the Castle

 Hay History Group are having a History Day at Hay Castle on Sunday 4th September.

Everything is free, all day.  There will be a Photogrammetry Workshop from 10am to noon, which sounds fascinating now I've looked up what it means!  According to Wikipedia, photogrammetry is the science of extrapolating a 3D image from 2D information such as a photograph, and it's used in mapping and archaeology amongst other things.

There will also be a pop up museum from noon until 4pm, with a slideshow of historic Hay, a display from the Hay History Group Archive, a display by Eric and Tim Pugh, and new research on Llanigon and Clyro from Alan Nicholls.

From 4pm to 5pm there will be a talk by Julian Ravest about his work with drones around archaeological sites, featuring Abbey Cwmhir, Strata Florida and Painscastle.

Anyone attending the History Day is also encouraged to bring their own artefacts and photographs along, and to share their own memories of Hay.
