After 25 remarkable years of service to Yate Town Council, we say farewell to a true cornerstone of our heritage family, as Community Heritage Officer, David Hardill, retires from his post at Yate Heritage Centre from the end of April 2025.
David’s dedication to preserving and sharing the rich tapestry of our community’s history has left an indelible mark, not only on our collections and community activities, but on every visitor, colleague, and student who has had the privilege of learning something new about themselves, and the community around them.
David’s passion for storytelling and conservation hasn’t just preserved the past, it has inspired future generations to value and protect the people, places and things around them. We’ll miss David’s deep well of knowledge that brought the past to life; as David turns the page to a new chapter, his legacy in the heritage field will continue to guide and inspire.
We thank David for 25 years of extraordinary service and wish him all the best in the journey ahead – he’s more than earned it!
As we now look to the future, Yate Town Council is looking forward to providing heritage to the community for the next 25 years and beyond!
