About Trevor Brook

You might be interested in talks which I can provide. I'm an engineer and broadcaster turned researcher and archivist for Albury History Society, https://alburyhistory.org.uk.

I speak to time (45-55 minutes) and each talk is packed with over one hundred archive photographs.

I can do Zoom though real life is vastly preferable!

I have presented for Guildford Institute, history societies, U3A, social groups and at Guildford Guildhall.
