As part of our Oral History project, we are currently looking for Torpoint residents over 70, who would be willing to be interviewed and share their stories of living and growing up in Torpoint.

If you have a story to tell, whether it is a childhood memory, or a tale from working in the town, to just sharing life experiences of living in Torpoint, then please get in touch.

Volunteers from Torpoint Archives will come and visit you in your home and take an audio recording of their conversation with you. That conversation will then be preserved in our archives for future generations.
