In this new booklet, Paul Kinnis and Anne Lipowski introduce us to some of the residents of Westwood Road in the 19th century. Their text illustrates different settlement patterns in Sutton and shares information on the main resources used to conduct the research.
A second article traces the history of the Madden-Eland family, now well established in Sutton. Had it not been for several chance encounters, their destination could have been very different, says Katherine Madden-Eland in an interview conducted as part of the oral history project.
For his part, Jocelyn Vachon focused on the tragic fate of Arthur Bowker McElroy, who fought the Germans at the controls of an airplane during World War II. Despite his solid training and many hours of flight time, he disappeared without a trace during a mission in March 1945, plunging a Sutton family into mourning.
Finally, thanks to a partnership between Héritage Sutton and the School of Art, a dozen children aged 6 to 9 participated in a workshop on built heritage in the summer of 2025. The last article reports on this experience.
