Interview with Neil Higson (b.1936).
Neil Higson moved in 1975 to Stantonbury, Milton Keynes and established a small private landscaping practice in Stony Stratford. Fred Lloyd Roche had been impressed with Neil’s work in Runcorn new town, had asked him to move to Milton Keynes and assisted him with setting up the private practice. Neil describes how the practice initially worked on projects for Milton Keynes Development Corporation both directly and privately, but eventually was employed solely by the Corporation. He speaks in detail about the landscaping of Milton Keynes in the 1970s and how it has developed up to the present, mentioning other MKDC employees he encountered. He believes that the building of Milton Keynes was a ‘tremendous success’ and thinks that it is marvellous that it is continuing to grow and develop.
