Milton Keynes - 1967 till 1992
As the residents of Milton Keynes begin to plan how to celebrate the 50th year of the 'new city', I've chosen a couple of clips to upload to show how we celebrated the first 25 years back in 1992.
Those with a good memory will remember that these video were displayed as part of the MK Gallery's Exhibition Future City - http://www.mkgallery.org/downloads/200/fcroomguide_singles_final_web.pdf
I've only uploaded one video so far - more will follow....

Milton Keynes at 25.
This video shows a large group of people all congregated in Middleton Hall to sing happy birthday under the instruction of Frank Henshaw the then Chief Executive of the Milton keynes Development Corporation. The exhibition was a celebration of the work undertaken by the MKDC as not only was it the 25th year since the work started on the new town, but it was also the final year of the Development Corporation. The Government has decided to wind up the group and pass the powers on to the Commission for New Towns, followed by Homes and Communities Agency. |
