Took a drive out to Dunstable this afternoon to pick up a item i'd been bidding on Ebay. Its to go in my ever increasing and very unusual collection of early MIlton Keynes publicity bits and pieces. Todays addition was a good old fashioned VHS and book called 'Milton Keynes - The future is present', it was produced to encourage both businesses and individuals to move to the new town.
Its a very sugary sweet idlic view of Milton Keynes and even though it was produced in 1991 so much of the footage could have been shot last week just with less rubbish and more overgrown bushes. It was a bit strange to see see the point without Midsummer Place behind it, and the inside of the former Bletchley Leisure Centre. I enjoy watching these old videos because they have so much more depth than just the photos. When i get a moment i'm going to publish my library information on here.
