The Living Archive NVQ Using IT Course, 2003



Welcome to our website. We are a group of NVQ students who created these pages as part of our research into how the lives of people living in Wolverton and Bletchley were affected by WW2. We collected the information from original publications of the time and by interviewing local people who lived through those years.

For the Coffee Hall Project we researched the history and development of Milton Keynes and what life was like for its early residents. We got information from newspapers and pamplets published at the time and by interviewing local people who lived in Coffee Hall, which in 1973, was one of the first estates to be built in Milton Keynes.

We hope it will be of interest and use to others, especially school students studying History, Citizenship and Geography at Key Stage 2 and 3.
