Week 20: WOLVERTON 150 FESTIVAL
In 1988 Wolverton had a week-long Festival to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the first train on the London to Birmingham railway stopping at the brand new Wolverton Station in September 1838. Alan Herring recorded the events on his movie camera and Roger Kitchen later recorded the voices of some of the participants, to give the silent film a soundtrack.
Wolverton 150 Festival is part of the Wolverton on Film 2 DVD, which can be purchased from our on-line shop https://www.livingarchive.org.uk/content/online-shop/dvds
