The Milton Keynes Project Slide Show 1970
This set of photographic slides were taken by the late Mr Ronald Sullivan and the late Mr Alan Sanders of Wolverton who were members of the Wolverton Cine & Slide Club. The set of 216 slides and the accompanying commentary was known as “The Milton Keynes Project”. In 1969/1970 it was decided that a photographic record of the towns and villages in the designated area of Milton Keynes should be started as soon as possible before the construction began.
