Oral history audio recordings of original residents who moved into existing towns and villages, later designated as Milton Keynes (1930 and 1949).

The ‘Peoples History of Milton Keynes’ project includes approximately 324 Oral history interviews recorded by and on behalf of the Living Archive. This selection of 11 interviews were recorded between April 2000 and March 2002 with original residents who moved during the period between1930 and 1949 into the area that would subsequently become known as Milton Keynes. The interviews in most part cover the interviewee’s reminiscences prior to the urbanisation and their thoughts on the subsequent changes.
