Blog Update: Quiet Progress and New Additions
The past few days have brought another round of gentle but meaningful updates to the website — the kind that slowly deepen its purpose and shape.
The “Memories of a Lost Generation” page has been updated once again, this time with the addition of a lorry driver whose story surfaced only yesterday. It feels right to place him alongside the others. Ground crew mattered every bit as much as the airmen they supported, and this project has always aimed to honour the full ecosystem of people who carried the weight of that era. Each new name brings the page a little closer to the truth.
Alongside this, a completely new section has taken shape: the Exeter Bypass page. This addition marks another step in documenting the landscape around us — not just the history of people, but the history of place. The bypass is one of those features locals take for granted, yet it has shaped movement, growth, and the rhythm of the city for decades. Capturing its story gives the site a broader sense of continuity: how Exeter has changed, how it has adapted, and how its infrastructure quietly supports daily life.
Together, these updates reflect the same guiding principles that have shaped the project from the beginning: steady progress, quiet respect, and gratitude for the fragments of history — personal or civic — that still surface.
More will come in time. For now, the site stands a little fuller, a little richer, and a little more connected to the stories that matter.
