Fabulous video. We moved to the area in 1970 and there are so many places that I still recognise. Thank you for posting.

My dad made kitchens out of all the wood from Wolverton station when they demolished it in the late 80s early 90s

Not Milton Keynes town/city yet in this film only in the name of the village that the name was taken from. The old towns of Newport Pagnell and Wolverton and Bletchley are shown in this film. Older villages like Willen and Woughton on the green are also shown. Little did they know what was coming over the years in Milton Keynes being built around them and still be being built to this day. .

The original Milton Keynes village had the advantage of being separated from the new development by the Canal and the M1. The village was popular with narrow boat owners and Sunday lunch at the Cross Keys Pub was a delight, dogs were welcome. Sadly so much has been lost since.

A nice trip back in time, very entertaining. Of course, we only have ourselves to blame finding out years later that we want what we once had, bagga.

Stark contrast between the modern Bletchley and the ancient Wolverton stations. "Britain's New Railway" was the future then!

Shows so many changes in society. Can you imagine anyone today being so trusting, feeling safe to leave a child in a pram outside unattended?

Can't remember the last time I saw a pram.

The area where I grew up in and a very noticeable and pleasing lack of what is known today as “diversity”.

I grew up in Bletchley in the 1960s and only moved away in the late 80s , there was plenty of diversity Duncombe street and surrounding streets backing onto the cattle market was Largely people from the Indian/ Pakistan sub continent, Sandringham Rd Windsor Rd North st western road etc had a large number of Italian folks West Bletchley on the Abbeys Rivers and counties estates had a number of black families, we all rubbed along just fine by in large , Wolverton the same there was a lot of black people doing great work on the railways My memories of that time are very clear as was the colour of the kids I went to school with and their lovely welcoming parents who were very kind to this white Bletchley born boy

Agree with you. If they really had integrated that well, as some with rose tinted specs allege... How come most people have never been invited to homes if black & Asian people & how many never had loads of friends come over or stay the night 🤔 Very few people can say they were ever invited to another cultures home, never often or even sleepovers 🤷
