The Society wishes to promote an interest in local history especially that of Mount Merrion and its surrounding areas and while the 'Local History' pages in this website contain an amount of history on Mount Merrion we believe there are other stories and details out there waiting to be told. We are appealing to viewers who may have such stories to submit those contributions which we will reproduce in this space.
